xrootdlib.utility module

parse_cgi(cgi_data: AnyStr) → Dict[AnyStr, AnyStr]

Parse cgi data in the form &key1=value1&key2=value2 to a mapping

Parameters:cgi_data – raw CGI data in as unicode or bytes Returns:a mapping from keys to values

Note that this does not perform any implicit type conversions: keys and values have the same type as cgi_data. For example, a value of b'1' is not converted to the integer 1.

>>> parse_cgi(b'&foo=1')
{b'foo': b'1'}
