[...]So in the end I was wondering if a "cgi_query_parser" would be appreciated as an addition to the parsers already present in Boost.ProgramOptions? I can directly see the benefits inside my own program since the 2 versions would only differ on one line of code.
From a more general point of view, it could be a simple way to have a CGI support somewhere in Boost.
If such a thing can be interesting, I can take a few time to implement it.
I'm interested in a more general approach to extend Boost.ProgramOptions with new parsers. Then you could add a CGI query parser while I could add a parser which reads configuration data from JSON files. Then however Boost.ProgramOptions would need to support something more sophisticated than key=value pairs. I'm not sure if this can be easily generalized? Boris
