This folder contains several AppleScript scripts saved as text files and a
single applet suitable to use as a CGI application with MacHTTP. These scripts
were written to accompany my online lessons on how to write CGI applications
for MacHTTP using AppleScript. You can access those lessons at:
http://www.uwtc.washington.edu/Computing/WWW/ExtendingMacHTTP.html
These lessons proceed from the most basic script (Script1.txt), which returns
all of the parameters without any processing, to several advanced examples,
which send e-mail or provide guestbook features for your site. Only the e-mail
example is available in this archive. The rest will be made available
on the WWW site above, after they have been fully tested.
The easiest way to test these forms and CGI's on your own server is to put
this folder in the same directory as MacHTTP. Every form will then be
referenced as "/LessonScripts/[form name here]". Every CGI is referenced by
relative URL, so there is no need to change the forms.
WARNING: THIS WILL NOT WORK IF YOU ARE USING "OPEN FILE" OPTION ON NETSCAPE
(or something similar with other WWW browsers). When you load the HTML page
directly from disk (the URL looks like "file://") instead of from MacHTTP
(where the URL will be "http://") you lose the ability to launch the CGI
apps correctly. To fix this either load the page from MacHTTP (preferable), or
change the URL in the form so it is a complete URL
(e.g., http://[your server name]/LessonScripts/[CGI app name]).
The contents of this folder are not public domain. They may be freely used and
modified for use on any site running MacHTTP, but they may not be published in
any form, electronic or otherwise, without my written permission. I would
appreciate it if sites which use these scripts would acknowledge their source
(myself) somewhere on the site.
