🦋 Basic Usage 🦋

#include <rude/cgi.h> #include <iostream>

using namespace std; using namespace rude;

int main(void) {
  // Obtain the cgi instance
  //
  CGI cgi;

  // Print out standard CGI HTTP Response header
  //
  cout << "Content-Type: text/html0;

  // Print out HTML
  //
  cout << "<html><body>"
       << "You selected the color: " ;

  // use the cgi object to obtain form data
  //
  cout << cgi["color"];
