Mosaic Fill-out Form Support

Support for both CGI scripts and the POST method of HTTP means that your server han handle Mosaic's new "fill-out forms". This adds a new dimension to the things you can do with your server. The supplied documentation contains a complete guide to writing forms-based HTML documents and supporting the forms with CGI scripts.

In addition, the Windows CGI interface provides fully parsed and decoded form field data to back-end "scripts", making it far easier to write back-end applications. The Visual Basic sample provided serves as an example of using decoded form data, and may also be used to test forms.
