Hi!

The requested parameter is in enviroments.
I have a CGI program which runs under Win/Linux with apache.
It use GetEnv('QUERY_STRING').
The Internet servers communicate with your programs over the 
environment string and the standard I/O.
Try to get all of environment strings and read from strandard I/O 
(with read(c); where c is a character) for GetEnv('Content_Length) 
times, and write it out to the file. That is not so diffucult to 
understand the environments names.

Bye LATte.
