AJAX Posting to Python cgi [duplicate]

Answer 1

Here's an example html file and accompanying python CGI script which should get you going:

Using this html:

    
        

        
        
        
    
    
         click me 
    

and this script:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import json
import cgi

fs = cgi.FieldStorage()

sys.stdout.write("Content-Type: application/json")

sys.stdout.write("\n")
sys.stdout.write("\n")


result = {}
result['success'] = True
result['message'] = "The command Completed Successfully"
result['keys'] = ",".join(fs.keys())

d = {}
for k in fs.keys():
    d[k] = fs.getvalue(k)

result['data'] = d

sys.stdout.write(json.dumps(result,indent=1))
sys.stdout.write("\n")

sys.stdout.close()

After clicking the button you can see the cgi script returns:

{
 "keys": "key2,key", 
 "message": "The command Completed Successfully", 
 "data": {
  "key2": "value2", 
  "key": "value"
 }, 
 "success": true
}
