There are some ways to use it. - -.SH "ENVIRONMENT" -Normally the webserver sets several environment variables to give some -information to the CGI program so it can determine various stuff. -.TP -.B AUTH_TYPE -This reflects the authentification method used to validate a user. -.TP -.B CONTENT_LENGTH -The length of the data in bytes passed to the CGI program through -standard input. This is used by the POST method. -.TP -.B CONTENT_TYPE -The MIME type of the query data, such as "text/html", optional. -.TP -.B DOCUMENT_ROOT -This reflects the document root directory of the webserver. -.TP -.B GATEWAY_INTERFACE -Reflects the version of the Common Gateway Interface that the server -is using -.TP -.B HTTP_ACCEPT -A comma separated list of MIME type that the client is willing to -accept. -.TP -.B HTTP_FROM -The email address of the user issuing the information request.

Normally this is "HTTP/1.0" or "HTTP/1.1". -.TP -.B SERVER_PORT -This refers to the TCP/IP port on which the webserver is running. -.TP -.B SERVER_SOFTWARE -This reflects the name and revision of the webserver software. - -.SH "AUTHOR" -This cgi library is written by Martin Schulze -.
