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

blob
with that status code.A HTTP Reponse with no body and that HTTP status code, e.g.
return cgi::empty_response(404);

Converts
text
to bytes (UTF8) and sends that as the body with that status_code
and HTML
Content-Type
