cgi module on VMS x86-64

[arne_v]

(I know this is very old, officially deprecated and going away)

It does not seem to work.

Code: Select all

import cgi
...
form = cgi.FieldStorage()

and form is all empty despite being a valid form submission.

I assume it has something to do with the fact that VMS Apache - VMS Python is different from *nix Apache - *nix Python.

I have tried the obvious of doing a:

$ define/nolog sys$input apache$input

in the COM wrapper before starting Python, but it did not solve the problem.

(obvious because in C or whatever then one actually has to read form input from apache$input not stdin / sys$input - and it was what was needed to make it work on Alpha using JFP Python 2.7)
