Module HTML.CgiServer

runFormServerWithKey :: String -> String -> IO HtmlForm -> IO ()   

The server implementing an HTML form (possibly containing input fields). It receives a message containing the environment of the client's web browser, translates the HTML form w.r.t. this environment into a string representation of the complete HTML document and sends the string representation back to the client's browser by binding the corresponding message argument.

Example call:

(runFormServerWithKey url cgikey hformact)

Parameters:

• url : the URL of this executable.
• cgikey : a unique key to identify this CGI script (used for safe storing of event handlers in this server)
• hformact : an IO action returning an HTML form

runFormServerWithKeyAndFormParams :: String -> String -> [FormParam] -> IO HtmlForm -> IO ()   

The server implementing an HTML form (possibly containing input fields). It receives a message containing the environment of the client's web browser, translates the HTML form w.r.t. this environment into a string representation of the complete HTML document and sends the string representation back to the client's browser by binding the corresponding message argument.

Example call:

(runFormServerWithKeyAndFormParams url cgikey formparams hformact)

Parameters:

• url : the URL of this executable.
• cgikey : a unique key to identify this CGI script (used for safe storing of event handlers on the web server)
• formparams : form parameters added to the initial and all subsequent forms
• hformact : an IO action returning an HTML form

intForm :: IO HtmlForm -> IO ()   

Execute an HTML form in "interactive" mode.

intFormMain :: String -> String -> String -> String -> Bool -> String -> IO HtmlForm -> IO ()   

Execute an HTML form in "interactive" mode with various parameters.

Example call:

(intFormMain baseurl basecgi reldir cginame forever urlparam hformact)

Parameters:

• baseurl : the base URL where this script is accessible for clients
• basecgi : the base directory in the local file system where this script should stored for execution
• reldir : the relative path added to baseurl and basecgi
• cginame : the name of the executable cgi script
• forever : True if the interactive execution should not be terminated when the final web page (without a handler) is shown
• urlparam : the URL parameter for the initial call to the cgi script
• hformact : IO action returning the HTML form
