Easily create CGI (RFC 3875) programmes in Rust based on http
Installation & Usage
Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
cgi = "0.1"In the main function, call only cgi::handle(...), with a function that
takes a cgi::Request and returns cgi::Response.
extern crate cgi;
fn main() { cgi::handle(|request: cgi::Request| -> cgi::Response {
...
})}extern crate cgi;
fn main() { cgi::handle(|request: cgi::Request| -> cgi::Response {
cgi::html_response(200, "<html><body><h1>Hello World!</h1></body></html>")
})}It will parse & extract the CGI environmental variables, and HTTP request body
to create Request, and convert your Response into the correct format and
print to stdout. If this programme is not called as CGI (e.g. missing required
environmental variables), it will panic.
Re-exports
pub extern crate http;Functions

to return a HTTP 404 Not Found.Call F as a CGI programme.
Converts
text to bytes (UTF8) and sends that as the body with that status_code and HTML
Content-Type header.Returns a simple plain text response.
