Class type Netcgi1_compat.Netcgi_types.cgi_argument

class type cgi_argument = object .. end

method name : string

method value : string

method open_value_rd : unit -> Netchannels.in_obj_channel

method ro : bool

Irrelevant: there are no methods to mutate an argument.

method store : store

method content_type : string

method content_type_params : (string * Mimestring.s_param) list

Method content_type : unit -> string * (string * Mimestring.s_param) list defined instead of content_type and content_type_params to be coherent with Netmime.mime_header_ro -- yet as easy to use.

method charset : string

method filename : string option

method representation : representation

method finalize : unit -> unit

method set_value : string -> unit

Dealing with the arguments is the task of an higher order library. In fact, it is generally misleading to think arguments as mutable because one must accomodate the back button -- so cache, history,... will use the "initial args". Moreover, the only place where mutability is interesting is the #url method which -- as already remarked -- can be dealt with in a purely functional way.

The new interface contains commodity functions to update lists of arguments (see Netcgi.Argument).

method open_value_wr : unit -> Netchannels.out_obj_channel

See #set_value.
