| 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 |
