The hunchentoot-cgi basically works with hunchentoot-1.2.2 now with a few modification: 1. In #'handle-cgi-script, replacing :external-format tbnl::+latin-1+ with :external-format tbnl::+utf-8+ 2. As WhiteCat suggested, use #'make-pathname as below:
(pushnew (hunchentoot-cgi::create-cgi-dispatcher-and-handler "/cgi-bin/" (make-pathname :directory '(:absolute "media" "E" "myapp" "cgi-bin"))) dispatch-table :test #'equal)
However, I do not understand why the python script cannot get the POSTed parameter, i.e., when visiting http://127.0.0:8000/cgi-bin/login.py?cmd=view, login.py can get the parameter cmd's value sucessfully, but when posted by the following form, login.py cannot get all the posted values (no matter hidden or not):
<html><body> <form method='POST' action='cgi-bin/login.py'> <input type='text' name='userid'> <input type='password' name='userpwd'> <input type='submit' value='Login'> <input type='hidden' name='cmd' value='view'> </form> </body></html>
I guess hunchentoot-cgi does not pass the posted parameter(s) to the python script according to the environment:

Please shed a light on me, thanks!
