AqCGI

AqCGI is a small library to help building CGI code in C to be used with Apache2 and other HTTP servers.

It parses HTTP headers and URL-encoded strings. It also takes care of sending responses including headers and error codes/messages.

Build AqCGI

Dependencies

AqCGI only depends on libgwenhywfar (see gwenhywfar).

Build

Download and unpack tar.gz file, CD into the unpacked folder and build like this:

mkdir build
cd build
gwbuild -s ..
gwbuild -jNN (with NN being the number of parallel processes to use, e.g. 4 if compiling on quadcore cpu)
sudo gwbuild -i

Use AqCGI

Working with AqCGI is as simple as this (in your main() function):

AQCGI_REQUEST *rq;

DBG_ERROR(NULL, "Init CGI");
AQCGI_Init();
rq=AQCGI_ReadRequest();
if (rq) {
  // do something with the request
  
  AQCGI_SendResponseWithStatus(rq, 200, "Ok");
  AQCGI_Request_free(rq);
}
AQCGI_Fini();
