HTTP::S...ronment(3) 🦋

okay so bestie, this page is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe, and it's giving “tiny mixin, very important CGI business” energy. No cap, it's all about HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI::Environment. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI::Environment — a HTTP::Server::Simple mixin to provide the CGI protocol. 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This mixin abstracts the CGI protocol out from HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI so that it's easier to provide your own CGI handlers with HTTP::Server::Simple which don't use CGI.pm. literally the whole point, and it ate. ✨

🧚 setup_environment 🧚

setup_environemnt is usually called in the superclass's accept_hook. (Yes, the docs spell it setup_environemnt right there — keep that typo in your grep, bestie. 🙈)

This routine in this sub-class clears the environment to the start-up state. 🫧

🌸 setup_server_url 🌸

Sets up the SERVER_URL environment variable. 💖

🦋 setup_environment_from_metadata 🦋

This method sets up CGI environment variables based on various meta-headers, like the protocol, remote host name, request path, etc. 🎀

See the docs in HTTP::Server::Simple for more detail. 👑

💅 header 💅

header turns a single HTTP headers into CGI environment variables. periodt. ✨
