Question

I develop a Win32 C++ cgi app for windows and linux and start from scratch.
I use CgiCC as lib and Visual Studio 2010 as IDE.

How can I debug that? When I instanziate my cgicc class the program holds and waits for CGI input I guess.

How can I set up an environment for my CGI input?
I set some environment variables like QUERY_STRING.
But I have no idea how to provide the values my cgi app would get while running on a webserver.

EDIT:
I am almost there.

1. I captured the traffic while browsing and wrote that content to a file.
2. Then I redirected stdin to that file: “< input.txt” as debug command line arguments in visual studio.
3. I set some environment variables under windows like CONTENT_LENGTH and CONTENT_TYPE.

after that I can read some content from my input like this:

cgicc::Cgicc cgi;
string u = cgi("user");

but i get an exception (reading from unallocated memory and exceptions like that) while doing this:

vector<FormFile, allocator<FormFile>> files = cgi.getFiles();

somehow not everthing if loaded correctly.

Answer 1

Solved it by myself:

1. Build cgicc with the same visual studio version that I compile my project with.
2. Build cgicc as a static library instead of a dynamic library.
3. Setting the preprocessor define CGICC_EXPORTS in my project which activated __declspec(dllexport).

Then it worked!
