NovaStar Program Reference / Web / wlgetquery

Overview

The wlgetquery program parses the cgi-bin QUERY_STRING environment variable contents and prints a new-line delimited list of parameter=value strings. The query string is the URL text after the question mark. For background see: CGI Environment Variables. The program is typically called within a cgi-bin environment, for example when called by a main cgi-bin program or script. The overall functionality is:

  • parse a URL query string into parameter=value strings
  • replace each + characters in the URL with a space
  • replace %-escaped hexadecimal numbers with corresponding integer value (as a character)
