- Hi all.
-
- I need to develop an advanced web application that will run on
- WinNT computers using Netscape.
- Theoretically, this should be no problem since both HTML and
- ansi-C should be portable.
-
- Well, at the moment I am facing the following problem:
-
- My NCSA httpd (from the Amosaic ppl) does not want to serve
- a cgi-bin that is not an arexx command.
- I wanto to process a "POST" form. Theoretically, I would
- just have to read stdin and write to stdout. But it
- doesn't work :-(
- Does anybody know how to set up this ? What role does PIPE:http-cgi
- play ?
-
- Or are there any better / more compatible httpd's for AmiTCP ?
- I tried AWS but it was even less complete.
-
- After 2 hours, I finally decided on the following bugfix:
- I get my form using "GET". Then an arexx script will take the
- arguments and send them to pipe:xxx. Then I will run my program
- with <pipe:xxx. Works rather well, only I can't convince Arexx not
- to parse the '='s in the data I get :-(
- So while the message should read a=hello&b=world&c=yeah, it
- reads a hello&b world&c yeah
-
-
- Any answer to any problem would be really appreciated.
- It would be a nice move to also mail me your answer so I will
- get it as fast as possible. Thanks a lot in advance.
-
- Tom.
