Hans,
 First , Please receive my appreciation for your help.
I know "> GET requests (with QUERY_STRING) and POST requests (CONTENT_LENGTH
> and readig from STDIN)." But I dont know POST WHAT TO SERVER.(Their
format). Whether
it is defined in RFC. I want to know this in detail.

And I dont know "boundary".
How to get the "boundary" and get the data in the uploadfile.
I want to know whether this upload file size is limmited. and when the web
server
 active my CGI, if the full data in this upload file(maybe it is a big file)
have been all in the "stdin".

Now after i read you wrote, I think :Every time I read from this stdin
first I will meet this header like this:
"Content-Disposition: form-data; name="userfile4"; filename="e:\a2x.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain"
follow this, It is its data upload. but how to decided its size. how to
decided next upload entry
where start.

I do not start to write code. because it is my touch on CGI at the fourth
day.
I want to get some experience and solve this "boundary" problem. I search
many souce code on internet and they did not mentioned how to solve this
problem at all.

did you have any good advice on this ?
Rgds
john
