Reading a cookie with C

[gerald]

Hi there!
I am experimenting with CGI programming in C, and I have come up to a brick wall.

I have figured out how to set a cookie by sending Set-Cookie as part of the outgoing HTTP header. I know this works because I see my cooke in the Cookies folder on my Win2000 system when I go to the page.

However, I dont know how to read an HTTP Request header.
Is it set as an environment variable or do I need to read it some other way? (possibly stdin?)

I think this is the last thing that I need to learn in order to finish my project.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated

Regards,
Gerald

I found this to be a BIG help for CGI programs in C:

You just unpack it, make a few minor changes to your program, link it in and compile it, very easy. Lots of nice documentation on the site as well. You'll be able to do what you want much easier (and more safely) with it.
