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).

hobbit-nkview.cfg

HOBBIT-NKVIEW.CFG(5)						File Formats Manual					      HOBBIT-NKVIEW.CFG(5)

NAME

       hobbit-nkview.cfg - Configuration of the hobbitgraph CGI

SYNOPSIS

       $BBHOME/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg

DESCRIPTION

       hobbit-nkview.cgi(1)  uses  the	configuration  file $BBHOME/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg to determine which of the statuses currently in a red or
       yellow state should appear on the Critical Systems view.

       This file should not be edited manually. It is maintained by the hobbit-nkeedit.cgi(1) utility via a web-based frontend.

FILE PERMISSIONS

       Since the file is maintained by a web front-end tool, the userid running Web CGI scripts must have write-permission  to	the  file.   Typi-
       cally, this means it must have a group-ownership matching your webserver userid, and group-write permissions (mode 664).

       When  editing  the  file  with the web front-end, a backup file is created.  Therefore the hobbit-nkview.cfg.bak file should have identical
       permissions.

       hobbit-nkview.cgi(1), hobbit-nkedit.cgi(1)
