Why would I want to import apache, util? The request object created by
the publisher automatically creates a FieldStorage object. So when I
pass the request object, whether POST or GET, along with some other
trivial data the python script on the server should simply take the data
argument as a parameter and return a page with it printed on it. Why
doesn't the apache user have this permission?
calling page:
def index():
s = """\
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<form action="script/greet" method="GET">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
"""
return s
server script:
def greet(req, name):
return 'Hello %s' % name
