The CGI arguments, however, are not extracted from the input channel, but simply passed as <code class="code">args</code> to this class. The input channel of the environment is never used. <p> The class does not modify any property of the environment, and it does not check whether the environment is compatible with the passed method and arguments. This is up to the user. <p> The purpose of the custom activation class is that CGI environments can be created that do not communicate over stdin/stdout, but use other means to get their input and to deliver their output. You could do that by providing a customized <code class="code">cgi_environment</code> as well, but this alternate solution might be ineffective because CGI arguments must be encoded for the only purpose to be immediately decoded by <code class="code">std_activation</code>. When using <code class="code">custom_activation</code>, one can bypass the environment, and set the CGI arguments directly. <p> Note: Unlike <code class="code">std_activation</code>, this class sets the set of current arguments and the set of initial arguments to the same list. This means: if you modify an argument directly (<code class="code">set_value</code>, for instace) this will change both sets. It is recommended to pass only read-only arguments to this class in order to avoid this surprising behaviour. <p> <br> <div class="param_info"><code class="code">env</code> : The default environment is to first try a classical CGI environment, and if that fails, to fall back to a test environment.</div> <div class="param_info"><code class="code">args</code> : The list of CGI arguments that will be available in the CGI activation object</div> <div class="param_info"><code class="code">meth</code> : The assumed HTTP method.
