This is a snippet from a REXX CGI that has been running for a few years:
/* get the POST data into the "qs" variable */
qs=""
do while(lines())
qs=qs||linein()
qs=strip(qs,'t',d2c(13)) /* remove trailing CR chars */
end
...
/* set the environment variable QUERY_STRING to the
contents of qs variable */
environment("QUERY_STRING",qs)
address syscall 'pipe p.'
"cgiparse -form >>/dev/fd"p.2
address syscall "close "p.2
address mvs "execio * diskr "p.1"(stem s."
address syscall "close "p.1
do i=1 to s.0
interpret s.i
drop s.i
end
drop s.
This has a potential problem if too much data tries to go to the pipe. If that
happens, the cgiparse will block, which will stop the REXX program before the
"execio * diskr "p.1 command. This will cause the CGI to stop and never return.
Not good. This has never happened in my experience, but the chance remains. If
I weren't too afraid, I would fix this. I think the following would work.
/* get the POST data into the "qs" variable */
qs=""
do while(lines())
qs=qs||linein()
qs=strip(qs,'t',d2c(13)) /* remove trailing CR chars */
end
...
/* set the environment variable QUERY_STRING to the
contents of qs variable */
environment("QUERY_STRING",qs)
stdin.0=0
stdout.0=0
stderr.0=0
call bpxunix "cgiparse -form",stdin.,stdout.,stderr.
do i=1 to stdout.i
intepret stdout.i
drop stdout.i
end
drop stdout.
drop stderr.
drop stdin.
