Get parameters from URL using CGI

[abcd]

i want to create a CGI script which simply prints out values given via
the URL (such as when a GET is performed).

So if I have a script named, foo.cgi ....and I access it by going to:

http://www.somesite.com/cgi-bin/foo.cgi?name=john&age=90

I want foo.cgi to print out:
name: john
age: 90


how do i get the values from the URL like that?

thanks

from urlparse import urlparse
dict([n for n in [i.split('=') for i in

urlparse('http://www.somesite.com/cgi-bin/foo.cgi?name=john&age=90')[4].split('&')]])
{'age': '90', 'name': 'john'}

Ian, thanks for the reply, but that is not what I need to do. Inside
foo.cgi how can I parse out the values given in the URL?

So if you visit: http://www.somesite.com/cgi-bin/foo.cgi?valA=1&valB=2
......I want the script, foo.cgi to print out the parameters and their
values. It's dynamic so the values are url wont be the same all the
time. How do i get the URL from the script? does this make sense?

So I'm thinking foo.cgi will look like

url = getTheFullURL()
parse(url)

def parse(url):
    # parse the parameter names and values

Have you studied the cgi module documentation?
