    I am learning to write the CGI programming in C.I need more informatio
    regarding this.

    Plz let me know any tutorials are avilable online or any other goo
    book for this which covers almost all CGI programming aspects such a
    attaching files,reading files,etc...

    regards,
    Ami

      Sorry....

      That *wildly* off topic here. If you have any questions on the language 'C',
      i'm sure there are plenty of folks willing to assist you. However, CGI is
      not covered.

      Regards,

      dandelion.

              Why is CGI not covered?
              Is it not possible to make a CGI application with ANSI/ISO C?

                  Because it's not 'C'.

                  Sure. Many things are written in 'C' which are not on topic here. The topic
                  is the *language* C itself, not the many possible applications of that
                  language. Let alone an interface between an HTTP server and external
                  applications.

                  If you have a problem with 'C' while writing your software, you're more than
                  welcome to pose any question you like.

                      Sure. In fact, it's relatively easy. It's also possible to write a BASIC
                      interpreter in ISO C, but that doesn't make BASIC on-topic in
                      comp.lang.c.

                      The parts of writing a CGI program in C that are actually C are
                      - read settings from the environment using getenv();
                      - possibly read input from stdin using fgets(), getchar(), scanf() or
                      whatever mechanism you prefer;
                      - write your output to stdout using printf(), puts(), et cetera.

                      Parsing your input and deciding what it means is CGI, not C - unless you
                      know _what_ you want to do, but have problems translating it into C. For
                      example, "What does the variable AUTH_TYPE mean?" is a CGI question, not
                      C. OTOH, "How do I separate the name and the version number in
                      SERVER_SOFTWARE ?" is a C question (answer: use strchr()).

                          It's OT as you've already been told. It's also not as widely done today
                          as it once was, other things being available, but check out "CGI
                          Programming in C & Perl" by Boutell.
