------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--  This is a package to interface a GNAT program with a Web server via the
--  Common Gateway Interface (CGI).

--  Other related packages are:

--     GNAT.CGI.Cookie which deal with Web HTTP Cookies.
--     GNAT.CGI.Debug  which output complete CGI runtime environment

--  Basically this package parse the CGI parameter which are a set of key/value
--  pairs. It builds a table whose index is the key and provides some services
--  to deal with this table.

--  Example:

--     Consider the following simple HTML form to capture a client name:

--        <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML 3.2//EN">
--        <html>
--        <head>
--        <title>My Web Page</title>
--        </head>

--        <body>
--        <form action="/cgi-bin/new_client" method="POST">
--        <input type=text name=client_name>
--        <input type=submit name="Enter">
--        </form>
--        </body>
--        </html>

--     The following program will retrieve the client's name:

--        with GNAT.CGI;

--        procedure New_Client is
--           use GNAT;

--           procedure Add_Client_To_Database (Name : in String) is
--           begin
--              ...
--           end Add_Client_To_Database;

--        begin
--           --  Check that we have 2 arguments (there is two inputs tag in
--           --  the HTML form) and that one of them is called "client_name".

--           if CGI.Argument_Count = 2
--             and the CGI.Key_Exists ("client_name")
--           then
--              Add_Client_To_Database (CGI.Value ("client_name"));
--           end if;

--           ...

--           CGI.Put_Header;
--           Text_IO.Put_Line ("<html><body>< ... Ok ... >");

--        exception
--           when CGI.Data_Error =>
--              CGI.Put_Header ("Location: /htdocs/error.html");
--              --  This returns the address of a Web page to be displayed
--              --  using a "Location:" header style.
--        end New_Client;

--  Note that the names in this package interface have been designed so that
--  they read nicely with the CGI prefix. The recommended style is to avoid
--  a use clause for GNAT.CGI, but to include a use clause for GNAT.

--  This package builds up a table of CGI parameters whose memory is not
--  released. A CGI program is expected to be a short lived program and
--  so it is adequate to have the underlying OS free the program on exit.

package GNAT.CGI is

   Data_Error : exception;
   --  This is raised when there is a problem with the CGI protocol. Either
   --  the data could not be retrieved or the CGI environment is invalid.
   --
   --  The package will initialize itself by parsing the runtime CGI
   --  environment during elaboration but we do not want to raise an
   --  exception at this time, so the exception Data_Error is deferred
   --  and will be raised when calling any services below (except for Ok).

   Parameter_Not_Found : exception;
   --  This exception is raised when a specific parameter is not found.

   Default_Header : constant String := "Content-type: text/html";
   --  This is the default header returned by Put_Header. If the CGI program
   --  returned data is not an HTML page, this header must be change to a
   --  valid MIME type.

   type Method_Type is (Get, Post);
   --  The method used to pass parameter from the Web client to the
   --  server. With the GET method parameters are passed via the command
   --  line, with the POST method parameters are passed via environment
   --  variables. Others methods are not supported by this implementation.
