This message comes into the CGI script in the form of the standard input.ExampleBelow is same hello_get.py script which handles GET as well as POST method.#!/usr/bin/python Import modules for CGI handling import cgi, cgitb # Create instance of FieldStorage form = cgi.FieldStorage() # Get data from fields first_name = form.getvalue('first_name') ...
