/**
 Class for easy extraction of CGI-parameters.

 This class reads automatically GET- and POST-parameters from stdin
 and the environvariable QUERY_STRING, like CGI-programs do. This eases
 writing CGI-programs in C++.

 example:
 \code
   int main()
   {
     cxxtools::Cgi q;  // this parses all input-parameters
     std::cout << q.header
               << "<html>\n"
               << "<body>\n"
               << "<form>\n"
               << "<input type=\"text\" name=\"v\"><br>\n"
               << "<input type=\"submit\"><br>\n"
               << "<hr>\n"
               << "</form>\n"
               << "you entered: <b>" << q["v"] << "</b>\n"
               << "</body>"
               << "</html>";
   }
 \endcode
