[users@httpd] Input filter to read a HTML form data

[Ambarish Mitra <am...@persistent.co.in>]

Hi all,

I am on Apache 2.0.59 and the following form is hosted on the apache server
at htdocs. Users do a GET and get the form on the browser.

The simple HTML form looks like the following. It has 3 fields where users
enter data - data, phone and email. I want to write a HTTP (input?) filter
which will read the HTTP request and log the form fields that the users
enters. Is this possible?


<html>
<head>
DATA FORM
</head>
<body>
<form name="dataform" action="/cgi-bin/action.pl" method="POST">
<b>Username</b><br>
<input type="text" name="data" size="20" value=""><br>
<b>Phone Number</b><br>
<input type="text" name="phone" size="20" value=""><p></p>
<b>email id</b><br>
<input type="text" name="email" size="20" value=""><p></p>
<b>Submit</b><br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="OK">
</form>
</body>
</html>


Any pointers/help on how this can be achieved?

Thanks,
Ambarish.

The posted data is being sent to a perl script; why not just log it from 
there instead of intercepting the request?
