Hi, Simon, all:
If I understand properly the question, then:
-open "Standard Additions" dictionary with your favourite script editor.
-navigate through "handle cgi request" command and you'll see all parameters
which are [can be] passed to a "handle cgi request"-handler (see below).
Traditionally, this command is used to _receive_ and parse data from a web
server. The server passes your script "x" parameters (depending on the type
of the transaction). To simulate a simple search query, try this:
-- simulates url "
http://www.server.com/script.cgi?data=hamburguer";
handle CGI request "
http://www.server.com/script.cgi"; searching for
"data=hamburguer"
on handle CGI request path_url searching for x
return x
end handle CGI request
