nstuff

CGI GET / POST data

Replacement for the now defunct cgi MiniFieldStorage

Parse CGI GET and/or POST data into a dict

With a POST request you can parse POST data and the url query string.

Example: Return POST and GET data from a request as JSON

• nstuff.cgi

#!/usr/bin/env python3

"""
Example nstuff cgi script to show GET and POST data.

"""
import json
from nstuff import nstuff

if __name__ == '__main__':
    formstuff = nstuff()
    print("Content-type: text/Json\n")
    print(json.dumps(formstuff))

• GET

a@fu:~$ curl  https://iodisco.com/cb/nstuff.cgi?you=me

{"you": "me"}

• POST

a@fu:~$ curl -d "say"="Hey Koolaid" https://iodisco.com/cb/nstuff.cgi

{"say": "Hey Koolaid"}

• Both in a POST

a@fu:~$ curl -d "say"="Hey Koolaid" https://iodisco.com/cb/nstuff.cgi?adrian=iscool

{"adrian": "iscool", "say": "Hey Koolaid"}

INSTALL

• Python3

python3 -mpip install nstuff 

• pypy3

pypy3 -mpip install nstuff 

• depending on the situation, you may need to add

--break-system-packages

The only method you need to call is nstuff() and it will return a dict of the request POST and GET vars . If you're just difficult, you can also call getstuff() or poststuff() directly and they will return the GET query string vars and POST data vars respectively.
