CGI library for Ruby

[Salvatore Sanfilippo]

Hello!

I want to port a web application to Ruby. I know about Ruby on Rails
and
other powerful frameworks but this project is simple enough and I'm new
enough to Ruby that all I want is a reliable CGI library with a very
sane
API. All the features I need is access to GET/POST parameters, cookies
handling,
file upload support. Sessions are not required.

May you please suggest one?

Thank you very much for your help,
Salvatore

CGI is a core/standard library in Ruby. Look in the Pickaxe 2 book for
an example of it being used

And here's the link:

The CGI library supports cookies and sessions pretty much transparently,
as well as including nearly all the HTML generation methods you would need.

And you could use ERB templates to generate HTML.
