Syntax for POST processing via CGI?

[Mark Smith]

This seems to work well in my experience:

on startup
    put postData() into tPostData
    split tPostData by "&" & "="
    -- postData is now an array of the form data

end startup

function postData
    put empty into tData
    put 0 into c
    repeat while tData is empty and c < 20
       read from stdin until empty
       put it after tData
       add 1 to c
       wait 20 millisecs
    end repeat
    return tData
end postData


note that it reads from stdin repeatedly until it's got something -  
for some reason, the data doesn't always appear straight away.

Best,

Mark
