milka@1134 1 haserl (Html And Shell Embedded Runtime Language) is a cgi
milka@1134 2 program that runs interpreted scripts. It combines three
milka@1134 3 elements into a single CGI interpreter:
milka@1134 4
milka@1134 5 1. It parses POST and GET requests, placing form-elements as name=value
milka@1134 6 pairs into the environment for the CGI script to use. It is similar
milka@1134 7 to uncgi (http://www.midwinter.com/~koreth/uncgi.html) in this respect
milka@1134 8
milka@1134 9 2. It prints the contents of the script as html, and conditionally
milka@1134 10 interpets text within <% ... %> as shell script. In this case haserl
milka@1134 11 scripts are like a poor-man's version of PHP (http://www.php.net)
milka@1134 12
milka@1134 13 3. It is very small, and so can be used in embedded environments
