Query String In Ruby Cgi

[randomguy]

Using ruby's built-in CGI class, I've tried to capture and use query string parameters.

 

approach 1:

cgi = CGI.new

params = cgi.params

 

approach 2:

cgi = CGI.new

params = CGI.parse cgi.query_string

 

Both of these are working ok on my pc, but not on helio JOHNNY server.

 

Could anyone explain, why is it not working? How can I use query string in my script?

 

Thanks.

Is that https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/cgi/rdoc/CGI.html#method-c-parse what you're trying to do?

@Krydos this is exactly what I am trying to do with approach 2, after approach 1 failed to deliver.

How about:

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require "cgi"
cgi_request = CGI::new("html5")

puts "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"
puts

query = cgi_request.query_string
puts "query:<br />"
puts "#{query}<br /><br />"

params = CGI::parse(query)
puts "params:<br />"
p params
