If I put GET in the form for the method, it works by setting QUERY_STRING to the values, but I cannot use a lot of values.

If I change it to POST, I cannot find the values. I understand POST works better for large numbers of values as it does not put them in the URL, but the values do not get passed as environment variables (I put env in the cgi).

bb-findhost.cgi

BB-FINDHOST.CGI(1)					      General Commands Manual						BB-FINDHOST.CGI(1)

NAME

       bb-findhost.cgi - Xymon CGI script to find hosts

SYNOPSIS

       bb-findhost.cgi?host=REGEX

DESCRIPTION

       bb-findhost.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the bb-findhost.sh CGI wrapper.

       bb-findhost.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the "host=REGEX" parameter. The REGEX is a Posix regular expression (see
       regex(7) ) describing the hostnames to look for.  A trailing wildcard is assumed on all hostnames - e.g. requesting the hostname "www" will
       match any host whose name begins with "www".

       It then produces a single web page, listing all of the hosts that matched any of the hostnames, with links to the Xymon webpages where they
       are located.

       The output page lists hosts in the order they appear in the bb-hosts(5) file.

       A sample web page implementing the search facility is included with bbgen, you access it via the URL /bb/help/bb-findhost.html.

OPTIONS

       --env=FILENAME
	      Loads the environment from FILENAME before executing the CGI.

FILES

       $BBHOME/web/findhost_header
	      HTML header file for the generated web page

       $BBHOME/web/findhost_footer
	      HTML footer file for the generated web page

       $BBHOME/web/findhost_form
	      Query form displayed when bb-findhost.cgi is called with no parameters.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       BBHOSTS
	      bb-findhost.cgi uses the BBHOSTS environment variable to find the bb-hosts file listing all known hosts and their page locations.

       BBHOME Used to locate the template files for the generated web pages.
