+CGI Script input
CGI Script Input
+
+
+Specification
+
+For requests which have information attached after the header, such as
+HTTP POST or PUT, the information will be sent to the script on stdin.
+
+
+The server will send CONTENT_LENGTH bytes on
+this file descriptor. Remember that it will give the CONTENT_TYPE of the data as well. The server is
+in no way obligated to send end-of-file after the script reads
+CONTENT_LENGTH bytes.
+
+Example
+
+Let's take a form with METHOD="POST" as an example. Let's say the form
+results are 7 bytes encoded, and look like a=b&b=c.
+
+
+In this case, the server will set CONTENT_LENGTH to 7 and CONTENT_TYPE
+to application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The first byte on the script's
+standard input will be "a", followed by the rest of the encoded string.
