Drop Down Box is used when we have many options available but only one or two will be selected.ExampleHere is example HTML code for a form with one drop down box − Maths Physics OutputThe result of this code is the following form −Below is dropdown.py script to handle input given by web browser.#!/usr/bin/python # Import modules for CGI handling import cgi, cgitb # Create instance of FieldStorage form = cgi.FieldStorage() # Get data from fields if form.getvalue('dropdown'):    subject = form.getvalue('dropdown') else:    subject = "Not entered" print "Content-type:text/html\r\r" print "" print "" print "Dropdown Box ...

A generally more reliable method of passing information to a CGI program is the POST method. This packages the information in exactly the same way as GET methods, but instead of sending it as a text string after a ? in the URL it sends it as a separate message. 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') ...

The GET method sends the encoded user information appended to the page request. The page and the encoded information are separated by the ? character as follows −http://www.test.com/cgi-bin/hello.py?key1=value1&key2=value2The GET method is the default method to pass information from browser to web server and it produces a long string that appears in your browser's Location:box. Never use GET method if you have password or other sensitive information to pass to the server.The GET method has size limitation: only 1024 characters can be sent in a request string. The GET method sends information using QUERY_STRING header and will be accessible in your ... Read More

All the CGI programs have access to the following environment variables. These variables play an important role while writing any CGI program.Sr.No.Variable Name & Description1CONTENT_TYPEThe data type of the content. Used when the client is sending attached content to the server. For example, file upload.2CONTENT_LENGTHThe length of the query information. It is available only for POST requests.3HTTP_COOKIEReturns the set cookies in the form of key & value pair.4HTTP_USER_AGENTThe User-Agent request-header field contains information about the user agent originating the request. It is name of the web browser.5PATH_INFOThe path for the CGI script.6QUERY_STRINGThe URL-encoded information that is sent with GET method ... Read More

Suppose we have a non-negative integer number num. For each number i in the range 0 ≤ i ≤ num we have to calculate the number of 1's in their binary counterpart and return them as a list. So if the number is 5, then the numbers are [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5], and number of 1s in these numbers are [0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2]To solve this, we will follow these steps −res := an array which holds num + 1 number of 0soffset := 0for i in range 1 to num + 1if i and i ...
