PHP-CGI Cookies

[Bob the Builder]

Hello,

 

I recently started writing my own web server in Java. I have PHP working, but I can't figure out how to pass cookies to the CGI.

 

Here's a quick snippet of the general code that I'm using (and then reading the output and writing it to the browser):

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("php-cgi C:\test.php test=1 test2=2");

 

That works fine for arguments, but I can't seem to find a way to pass cookies that were read from the HTTP request header. Does anyone know if it's possible, and if so how?

 

Thanks.

I've figured it out; I can pass them to the CGI process using environmental variables.

 

                ArrayList<String> envp = new ArrayList<String>();
                for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : System.getenv().entrySet()) { // Add the computer set variables.
                    envp.add(entry.getKey() + "=" + entry.getValue());
                }
                envp.add("HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE=" + httpRequest.getHeaderProperty("Keep-Alive"));
                envp.add("HTTP_CONNECTION=" + httpRequest.getHeaderProperty("Connection"));
                envp.add("HTTP_COOKIE=" + httpRequest.getHeaderProperty("Cookie"));
                envp.add("HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL=" + httpRequest.getHeaderProperty("Cache-Control"));
                Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command, envp.toArray(new String[envp.size()])); // Execute php-cgi.exe

 

Which works great. That said, I have a new problem: passing POST. I've tried multiple different names, such as POST, HTTP_POST, HTTP_POST_VARS, etc, but none add to $_POST. Does anyone know what environmental variable PHP uses for POST?
