| Hey Everyone,
Do we know where I can get a clear definition
of "query_string"?
What are included by the "query_string"
returned by the apache web server?
Thanks! Mike

Everything after the ? is the query_string for a get
(POST is somewhat different.)
For example - See:
http://insecurity.org/cgi/cgi_refle...ngQuestioningMe
Not sure where I got that one - somewhere on the Internet...

Thanks for the response.
Is there any connection between "CONTENT_LENGTH" &
"query_string"?
Thanks!

I am not clear why we need CONTENT_LEGTH.
I thought the CONTENT_LENGTH is designed to tell
me how long the message is.
I better double check the definition.
Is there any place we can look up the definition
of these such as "CONTENT_LENGTH" & query_string.
From the example, I see the query_string. Yet, how
it is structured? Or I simply don't need to
worry about it.
Thanks! Mike

Please let me know if you find anything really
document how query_string's structure from "google".
As a matter fact, I do think you will have a better
luck with yahoo for this spcifgic topic.
I google the web & apache site several times. Yet,
nothing really answer the question.
The question I am asking you, specifically is
"how the query_string is constructed".
Is this clear to you? Let me know spcifically which
part you don't unstand.
Thanks! Mike

The part we don't understand is why you keep asking this Perl mailing
list a question that doesn't have anything to do with Perl. ;)

Thanks for clearing up for me.
However, so far I learnd 2 things:
(1)
Instead of parsing the string, I can use
Apache::Request perl pre-built module.
(2)
The query_string is really a product of the client.
I am not a perl expert, but I do learn a lot from
these.
To me, such information could benefit many many perl
beginner including myself.
Have fun! Mike

Especially since this is so well documented - it is almost
why the Internet (WWW) exists today.
First hit right off Google:
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/Q/query_string.html
Now we can officially say this is a FAQ and can be
found searching these archives...

No.
The query string is a part of the CGI hand-shake between systems.
You can have a Query String between any systems which agree to CGI.
CGI is an Interface, the fact that it is doomiant on HTTP doesnt
change this...
