Hi all
lot of times we construct a URL of the format
http://xxx/cgi-bin/test?x=y&a=b or we say http://xxx/servlet/test?x=y&a=b .
Now this is a HTTP GET request which is handled by the cgi script test or
the servlet test. My question is whether this query string "x=y&a=b" is an
HTTP format or a CGI format. Since servlets also use it is an HTTP format ie
forms a part of the HTTP protocol or is it a GGI format of sending data from
an webpage which the servlets make use of.
In CGI spec it is written that this type of communication takes place by
writing the environment variables from which the cgi program accesses the
data. Does the servlet engine do it in the same way ie read from the env and
format it in a HTTPRequest???
Any comments to clear this doubt are welcome.
TIA
Anamitra
