Simple Example of a Web-based Interface to Ada Programs
The Big Picture
ØClient Side
ØA form written in HTML is filled in by the user
ØWhen the SUBMIT button on the form is pressed, the data on the form is encoded and sent to the data server on the Web Server
ØServer Side
ØThe Web Server receives the URL of the Data Server and launches it as a normal program, passing the encoded data onto it via standard input (if the POST method is used on the Client Side) or the command line (if the GET method is used on the Client Side)
This example uses the POST method
