8554 :: HTTP header for cgi script under Apache

• Neodim (orginal) [2021-10-27T21:06:30+02:00] view original

  Hi everybody,

  Just couple of small questions i faced recently:

  I'm about to make one micro service API for a typical hosting server working under Apache.

  So CGI lib works well both get and post requests but how to get a header of HTTP request?

  I have not found such method in Nim-CGI lib....

  And second one: what is a proper way of making a site routing? Is it possible to route in one cgi-module or it should be separated to many? Again, there are almost none of examples of working cgi code, only trialAndError() method...

  Thanks ahead!

  While CGI has its charme (no hidden persistent state possible) it's very outdated and so there is little documentation available. Usually people use Nim's asynchttpserver (or a comparable package) behind an Apache/nginx proxy.
