QUERY_STRING not returning expected data using windows 64 bit executable about websocketd

[asergeyev]

Thanks!
Interesting issue... I'll need to find windows VM to try that somehow. Are you able to install go and compile latest websocketd ?

[asergeyev]

Can you take a look at REQUEST_URI, does it include "?asfds=foo&bar=loo" or no?

I used the provided downloadable binary from here.

Using REQUEST_URI:

CONNECT
MESSAGE: /
MESSAGE: localhost
MESSAGE: websocketd-CGI/0.1
DISCONNECT

Contents of the .cmd file:
@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
@echo %REQUEST_URI%
@echo %SERVER_NAME%
@echo %GATEWAY_INTERFACE%

I checked that with windows 32 bit and binary from website and things work fine with it....
I can see correct REQUEST_URI and QUERY_STRING... Will still look for 64 bit windows vm....

[asergeyev]

Well.. Same thing on 64 bit for me, I cannot confirm it...

Interesting, I'm running native windows 7 but that shouldn't matter.
I'm going to take a further look, in the meantime:

C:\temp\websocketd>websocketd --version
websocketd 0.2.8

C:\temp\websocketd>ver

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

Hah, peg this as a user error.

The query string has to be sent via the ws socket for the server to get the data. My example was based off on the query string passed over http to a certain script...

Perhaps a small note like "Ensure your querystring is being passed over the websocket if you intend for its values to be readable through this environment variable" would prevent other after-programming tinkering-at-home hackers to do the same mistake as I did.

My apologies.

No worries, glad it was easy to resolve :)
