#<a class="btn btn-sm btn-outline-dark tag-btn" href=http://toasters.rocks/tags/tech>Tech</a><br><i class="fas fa-hourglass"></i> ~6 minutes</div><p>Well, you probably all heard of <a href=https://esolangs.org/>esoteric programming languages</a> before, but the question today is, programming languages used outside its intended use, would that be esoteric?</p><p>If I tell you back-end web languages, you’d immediately think PHP, Node.js, Ruby, C maybe, but what if I tell you… Commodore BASIC? Sure, just get a Commodore 64 with a TCP/IP stack and write a web server for it you’d say, but I mean, actually using it on an actual, everyday web server on some Linux box? It’s clearly not made for that.</p><p>Enter <a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface>CGI</a>, which is a protocol that was basically made so your web server can run a Perl script that could do more than directly serving some static HTML file so your user could actually interact with your website. A standard setup would be PHP running as a FastCGI server on top of Nginx, that or running as a plugin on Apache. In the first case, PHP communicates with Nginx via a UNIX socket, the web server forwards a request, PHP processes it and sends it back, so it would be more efficient and not spawn a process every request, which might slow your site down if it’s popular enough.</p><h2 id=installation>Installation</h2><p>We’re going to use <a href=https://github.com/gnosek/fcgiwrap>fcgiwrap</a>, a little piece of software that plugs into Nginx just like PHP does, but it runs just about any software you can run on command line, be it a shell script, a program, or a script written using your favourite language interpreter. You just install it using your Linux distro’s package manager, activate the socket with a <code>sudo systemctl start fcgiwrap.socket</code>, install it in your <code>nginx.conf</code> just like you did with PHP, that’s it, just like in the good ol’ days.</p><div class=highlight><div class=chroma><table class=lntable><tr><td class=lntd><pre tabindex=0 class=chroma><code><span class=lnt>1

So it’s really easy to code something to show up in your browser. But of course, this ain’t PHP, you have to send the HTTP headers yourself (lines 10-30, anything followed by two newlines should be sufficient, but for best results you should send the HTTP code and the content type), but still, quite easy. But the question here is, how is it useful?</p><h2 id=_post>$_POST</h2><p>Obviously, you’d need some kind of input, right? The HTTP protocol allows for GET and POST. POST allows you to send data in the body of the request, otherwise you can also get some data from the URL. In PHP that would be respectively the <code>$_POST</code> and <code>$_GET</code> arrays. But of course it won’t automatically parse these, so let’s do that.</p><p>For POST data, it’s just as easy as reading keyboard input, or STDIN, depending of how it works. If it’s a GET request, then you should get nothing (or a 0xFF byte in case of BASIC), otherwise you’d get the data your user sent in your POST form.</p><div class=highlight><div class=chroma><table class=lntable><tr><td class=lntd><pre tabindex=0 class=chroma><code><span class=lnt> 1

It’s safe to assume anything over 127 is the end of input, as anything above that will be percent-encoded. In particular, in BASIC, you get 199 if you’re past the end (EOF) and 255 if there’s nothing. Parsing the resulting string is left as an exercise to the reader. And now if you send some data in the form you’ll get:</p><pre tabindex=0><code> input=Something

Notice that Commodore BASIC treats null bytes as an empty string here, which completely breaks the <code>ASC()</code> function and so should be handled separately.</p><p>Interesting variables are <code>QUERY_STRING</code> (PHP’s <code>$_GET</code>, parses just like we did with POST), <code>HTTP_COOKIE</code> (cookies are here), <code>REQUEST_METHOD</code> (GET or POST), <code>REMOTE_ADDR</code> (your user’s IP), <code>REQUEST_SCHEME</code> (https?), you can find a lot of them <a href=https://www.php.net/manual/reserved.variables.server.php>just here</a> (at least those who aren’t specific to PHP) or <a href=https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3875.html#section-4.1>here</a>.</p><p>On that, that’s it for today, hope you have fun with this!
