RE: [lwip-users] CGI - Porting uIP webserver app (httpd-cgi.c) to lwIP?

[Ed Sutton]

Hi Bill,

 

Thank you for the warning as I was not aware.

 

If I can figure out how to use it to POST updates to my embedded device, for example to set a new static IP from a simple web page, I think I will have what I need.  So far it appears that CGI only supports GET.  The SSI includes work well enough though for displaying device status on a web page.

 

I found this searching for 0x20000000:

 

         /* If the data is being read from a buffer in RAM, we need to copy it

         * into the PCB. If it's in flash, however, we can avoid the copy since

         * the data is obviously not going to be overwritten during the life

         * of the connection.

         */

         err = tcp_write(pcb, hs->file, len,   (hs->file < (char *)0x20000000) ? 0 : 1);

 

Thanks again,

 

-Ed

Be careful of the system dependency that is hard coded in the source code about the location of flash and RAM.  Search for 0x20000000.
