And...the magic answer to make this form actually work with the uIP
webserver is that:
1. the form's "method" has to be GET not POST otherwise the URL CGI
"call" is not made visible/sent correctly/processed.
2. the webserver has to be configured with URL/CGI mapping enabled
(CONFIG_NETUTILS_CGIPATH)

Forgive me if the terminology is wrong here, but I am trying to find
documentation - NuttX or elsewhere - about the %! "tag" that denotes a
call to a CGI function. Specifically, I am trying to add a form that
calls a script from a button, where do-firmware-update is my CGI function:
<form action="%! do-firmware-update" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data" accept-charset="UTF-8">
This gets served with nothing after the first opening quote character
on this line so i am assuming I am "calling" the script incorrectly
but can't find anything anywhere to tell me how to do this.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
