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.
