CGILib is a C++ library built out of the sheer frustration of having to build all of that barebones code that you need to get information from the server. It is a single-header Common Gateway Interface Library meant to squeeze every ounce of data out of the environment and feed it to you when you want.

Unfortunately, as this project has yet to receive a release, there are no installation instructions. Just take the header file at the root of this repo, and put it in (for *nix style systems)/usr/local/include.

When the first release is posted this README will have a one-liner install command.

#include<cstdlib>// srand, rand#include<ctime>// time#include<cgilib.h>// CGI Library#include<iostream>// endlintmain(int argc,char** argv) {// Set up pseudo-random generationsrand(time(NULL));// Set up a basic header  cgi::headers.add_header("Content-Type","text/plain");  cgi::out <<"I generated a random number!" << (rand()%10+1) << std::endl;cgi::send_response();return0;}
