ruby’ists-

the old cgi library returns parameters as an array

cgi[‘k’] => [‘v’]

the new interface returns parameters as a string

cgi[‘k’] => ‘v’

but what if

http://www.foo.bar/cgi-bin/ruby.cgi?k=v0&k=v1&k=v2&k=v3

??

and

cgi[‘k’] => [‘v0’,‘v1’,‘v2’,‘v3’]

is desired??

how is this done using the new api?

will give you the array.

try cgi.params[‘k’], which returns an array.

thanks!

i’m sure it’s been posted somewhere - but is there any effort towards 1.8 docs
available online?
