Context-Related Directives
The context-related directives GCONTEXT and PCONTEXT appear within a
line, and are not required to appear at the beginning of a line. This is an
exception to the rule. All other directives must appear at the beginning of a
line, to be recognized by the directory server.
GCONTEXT
Description
The <!-- GCONTEXT--> directive appears within an URL and is used in the
invocation of CGIs through GET operations. <!-- GCONTEXT--> can appear
anywhere on a line, and more than once within a line. The Gateway CGI
reading <!--GCONTEXT --> replaces it with the Gateway context it has at the
time.
Arguments
None.
Example
<a href=/dsgw/bin/lang?<?-- GCONTEXT -->&file=auth.html>click</a>
PCONTEXT
Description
The <!-- PCONTEXT--> directive must appear on a line by itself. The Gateway
CGI reading <!--PCONTEXT --> replaces it with a hidden variable indicating the
context it has at the time.
Arguments
None.
Example
<form method=post action=/dsgw.bin/dosearch>
<input type=hidden name=dn valute=””>
