C++ LANGUAGE PASSING INFORMATION USING GET METHOD

Passing Information Using GET Method 


The GET method sends the encoded user information appended to 
the page request. The page and the encoded information are 
separated by the ‘?’ character as follows: 

http://www.test.com/cgi-bin/cpp.cgi?key1=value1&key2=value2 

The GET method is the default method to pass information from 
browser to web server and it produces a long string that appears 
in your browser's Location:box. Never use the GET method if you 
have password or other sensitive information to pass to the server. 
The GET method has size limitation and you can pass up to 1024 
characters in a request string. 

When using GET method, information is passed using QUERY_STRING 
http header and will be accessible in your CGI Program through 
QUERY_STRING environment variable. 

You can pass information by simply concatenating key and value 
pairs along with any URL or you can use HTML <FORM> tags 
to pass information using GET method.
