Cgi to dump xml data from form input field

Hi All,

I am trying to write a shell script which takes parse the web form find the input field and dump the data of that field into one xml file. The form looks like,

<input type="button" id="btnSave" value="Save" onclick="saveXmlData()"/>
<form name="submitForm" action="./saveData.cgi" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="xmldata" />
</form>


At the end the cgi should return a html saying that "Data saved."

I have never written cgi. I would appreciate if you can guide me resolvethis or point me out some article, sample or other link.

Thanks,
Jdp

NAME
cgi_parse - Parse incoming CGI data SYNOPSIS
#include <cgi/cgi.h> NEOERR *cgi_parse (CGI *cgi); ARGUMENTS
cgi - a pointer to a CGI pointer DESCRIPTION
We split cgi_init into two sections, one that parses just the basics, and the second is cgi_parse. cgi_parse is responsible for parsing the entity body of the HTTP request. This payload is typically only sent (expected) on POST/PUT requests, but generally this is called on all incoming requests. This function walks the list of registered parse callbacks (see cgi_register_parse_cb), and if none of those matches or handles the request, it handlers: POST w/ application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST w/ application/form-data PUT w/ any content type In general, if there is no Content-Length, then cgi_parse ignores the payload and doesn't raise an error. RETURN VALUE
Either data populated into files and cgi->hdf, or whatever other side effects of your own registered callbacks. SEE ALSO
