a C++ class library for writing CGI applications

Introduction to GNU Cgicc

GNU Cgicc is an ANSI C++ compliant class library that greatly simplifies the creation of CGI applications for the World Wide Web. cgicc performs the following functions:

• Parses both GET and POST form data transparently.
• Provides string, integer, floating-point and single- and multiple-choice retrieval methods for form data.
• Provides methods for saving and restoring CGI environments to aid in application debugging.
• Provides full on-the-fly HTML generation capabilities, with support for cookies.
• Supports HTTP file upload.
• Compatible with FastCGI.
• License: LGPL.

Requirements

GNU cgicc requires an ANSI-compliant C++ compiler supporting the C++ standard template library. cgicc is primarily developed on GNU/Linux using gcc version 3.3, but it has been built using the following compilers:

• gcc versions 2.8.1 and greater
• Hewlett-Packard aCC
• Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
• Borland C++ Builder 5.0

Project files for MSVC++ are included in the distribution.

Downloading GNU Cgicc

GNU Cgicc can be found on http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/cgicc/ [via http] and ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/cgicc/ [via FTP]. It can also be found on one of our FTP mirrors.

Documentation

GNU cgicc is documented using doxygen, to allow the documentation for the library to be in the same files as the library code itself. The doxygen-generated documentation is available in the release/doc/html/ subdirectory of the distribution.

You can also browse the library documentation online.
