tutorial: cgi in c/c++

If you've been experiencing a shortage in good tutorials for CGI programming in C or C++, hop on over to Sam Thomas's tutorial. After Sam gets through with expressing his modesty, he goes into a straight-forward presentation, which includes getting data from the server, URL encoding (and how it works), how to send data to the console, using redirection, and setting it all up under UNIX. Sam departs from his quiet tone and warns you loud and clear that you "MUST COMPILE THE CODE ON THE MACHINE YOU INTEND TO RUN IT ON!!!" I have to say, that was my favorite part. Anyway, if you're looking to use the POST method, this tutorial may be worth your time. The downside is there is no cookie reference, and the link to Andy's Netscape HTTP Cookie Info didn't work, which makes for a less-than-stellar ending.
