import os

import sys

# Print a form for testing of POST

print 'Content-Type: text/html'

print ''

print '<form method="post" action="/">'

print 'Zap Data: <input type="text" name="zap"><br>'

print 'Zot Data: <input type="zot" name="zap"><br>'

print '<input type="submit">'

print "</form>"

# Dump raw CGI

# http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/in.html

print "<pre>"

print 'Environment keys:'

print ''

for param in os.environ.keys():

print "%20s %s" % (param,os.environ[param])

print ''

# Dump the GCI data

print 'Data'

count = 0

for l in sys.stdin:

count = count + 1

print l

if count > 100:

break

print "</pre>"

# In case you want to test file uploading

# print '<form method="post" action="/" enctype="multipart/form-data">'

# print 'File Data: <input type="file" name="filedat"><br>'
