NAME

       HTTP::Request::AsCGI - Set up a CGI environment from an HTTP::Request

VERSION

       version 1.2

SYNOPSIS

	   use CGI;
	   use HTTP::Request;
	   use HTTP::Request::AsCGI;

	   my $request = HTTP::Request->new( GET => 'http://www.host.com/' );
	   my $stdout;

	   {
	       my $c = HTTP::Request::AsCGI->new($request)->setup;
	       my $q = CGI->new;

	       print $q->header,
		     $q->start_html('Hello World'),
		     $q->h1('Hello World'),
		     $q->end_html;

	       $stdout = $c->stdout;

	       # environment and descriptors will automatically be restored
	       # when $c is destructed.
	   }

	   while ( my $line = $stdout->getline ) {
	       print $line;
	   }

DESCRIPTION

       Provides a convenient way of setting up an CGI environment from an HTTP::Request.

METHODS

       new ( $request [, key => value ] )
	   Constructor.  The first argument must be a instance of HTTP::Request, followed by optional pairs of environment key and value.

       environment
	   Returns a hashref containing the environment that will be used in setup.  Changing the hashref after setup has been called will have no
	   effect.

       setup
	   Sets up the environment and descriptors.

       restore
	   Restores the environment and descriptors. Can only be called after setup.

       request
	   Returns the request given to constructor.

       response
	   Returns a HTTP::Response. Can only be called after restore.

       stdin
	   Accessor for handle that will be used for STDIN, must be a real seekable handle with an file descriptor. Defaults to a tempoary
	   IO::File instance.

       stdout
	   Accessor for handle that will be used for STDOUT, must be a real seekable handle with an file descriptor. Defaults to a tempoary
	   IO::File instance.

       stderr
	   Accessor for handle that will be used for STDERR, must be a real seekable handle with an file descriptor.

NAME

       HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI - CGI.pm-style version of HTTP::Server::Simple

DESCRIPTION

       HTTP::Server::Simple was already simple, but some smart-ass pointed out that there is no CGI in HTTP, and so this module was born to
       isolate the CGI.pm-related parts of this handler.

   accept_hook
       The accept_hook in this sub-class clears the environment to the start-up state.

   post_setup_hook
       Initializes the global CGI object, as well as other environment settings.

   cgi_class [Classname]
       Gets or sets the class to use for creating the $cgi object passed to "handle_request".

       Called with a single argument, it sets the coderef. Called with no arguments, it returns this field's current value.

       To provide an initialization subroutine to be run in the post_setup_hook, see "cgi_init".

       e.g.

	   $server->cgi_class('CGI');

	   $server->cgi_init(sub {
	       require CGI;
	       CGI::initialize_globals();
	   });

       or, if you want to use CGI::Simple,

	   $server->cgi_class('CGI::Simple');
	   $server->cgi_init(sub {
	       require CGI::Simple;
	   });

   cgi_init [CODEREF]
       A coderef to run in the post_setup_hook.

       Called with a single argument, it sets the coderef. Called with no arguments, it returns this field's current value.

   setup
       This method sets up CGI environment variables based on various meta-headers, like the protocol, remote host name, request path, etc.

       See the docs in HTTP::Server::Simple for more detail.

   handle_request CGI
       This routine is called whenever your server gets a request it can handle.

       It's called with a CGI object that's been pre-initialized.  You want to override this method in your subclass

   handler
       Handler implemented as part of HTTP::Server::Simple API
