Description:
GNU CGI Library in C (GCGI)

The GCGI library implements NCSA\'s Common Gateway Interface specification 
along with the extensions that were defined in RFC2388 allowing for easy 
implementation of web-based programs and CGIs. It has the following major 
features:

*  Implements NCSA\'s CGI specification allowing you to easily process 
the data submitted by urlencoded HTML forms.

* Implements RFC 2388. This includes support for HTML forms encoded as 
multipart/form-data which gives support for such things as uploading files via 
HTML forms.

* GCGI handles setting and fetching regular and encrypted cookies (using 
OpenSSL).

* GCGI can control the HTTP headers sent to the browser to change cache 
behavior, send HTTP error codes, redirect the browser to other pages and to 
send both the Content-Type and Content-Disposition headers.

GCGI was originally written to replace the proprietary library, CGIC but has 
now implemented many new features that are not available in CGIC (such as 
cookie support and RFC2388 implementation). GCGI is released under the GNU 
Lesser General Public License. 

It already exists here:

Other Software Required:
GCGI can use OpenSSL to support encrypted cookies, but it is not required.
