[En-Nut-Discussion] Processing Input from Unprotected Files

[Jason Walton]

Hello all,

I've modified the "index.html" file in the urom for the "httpd" project to
simply contain a user name and password box with submit button.  I'd rather
pass these parameters into the firmware and have them verified before
allowing any further pages to be viewed (including, but not limited to cgi
forms).  After searching around in the discussion forum, I ran accross an
entry authored by Hugo Simon in October of 2005 entitled "httpd with
dynamically generated text orbinary files."  In this discussion, it is
mentioned that a sister set of the cgi functions (NutFileRegister,
NutProcessFileRequest...) is created in order to access an unprotected file
in the "_proc_" directory.

Is this a recommended way to allow processing capability to unprotected
files?

Thanks,

Jason
