[issue11352] Update cgi module doc

Hynek Schlawack <hs [at] ox> added the comment:

What is the reason for this one to languish for over a year now? Lack of proper patch? It’s marked “high priority”, so let’s get moving.

Maybe because few people are concerned by the cgi module?

> Lack of proper patch?

It would help to have a patch attached to the issue, and a review of the patch.

Hynek Schlawack <hs [at] ox> added the comment:

That’s not a patch. :) Posting whole files makes them very hard to review because you can’t spot the changes.

The best thing would be to get a fresh clone of the repo: http://docs.python.org/devguide/setup.html#setup , copy your edited file to the appropriate place and run `hg diff`.

If it looks okay, redirect the output into a file (something like `hg diff >cgi-doc-update.patch`) and attach it to this issue.

Senthil Kumaran <senthil [at] uthcode> added the comment:

I have made the suggested specific changes, but while reviewing the entire doc, I realized that much improvements can be made. Keeping the documentation more helpful aligned with the cgi.py APIs. I shall keep bug report to update the cgi docs further.

[issue11352] Update cgi module doc [In reply to]

Pierre Quentel <pierre.quentel [at] gmail> added the comment:

Hi,

I started working on a revised version of the whole cgi documentation. I mostly changed paragraphs 2 & 3 ("Using the CGI module" and "Higher level interface") and replaced them by a paragraph still called "Using the CGI module" + 2 other paragraphs for special cases : "Multiple fields with the same name" and "File uploads"

The content is basically the same but the new presentation is hopefully more clear

The patch is attached as file cgi-doc.patch

I attach a new version after sharing thought with Glenn

CGI scripts are still unable to define which encoding to use to print the strings received from the user agent. A patch was proposed #11066 but the issue is still pending. The new version documents this issue
