Try this How to - Quick & Easy CGI at http://www.rebol.com/docs/cgi1.html

now.cgi [ print probe system/options/cgi]

serv: [ open tcp://:80 ]

browse 127.0.0.1:80/now.cgi

plis help ?

what do to make in order to this side displayed ?

you need to run a web server .. and just opening tcp://:80 won't 
do it.

check out the web servers on rebol.org

Or install the Apache webserver for the full works -- http://www.apache.org

Or something like Xitami for 99% of what you are likely to need --

For anyone interested in getting Carl's blogger script (blog.r) to 
work under Cal's rebol webserver (webserv.r):

(1) Cal''s script passes Carl's script a tcp connection and set's 
no-wait on this connection.  Carl's script doesn't like that.

(2) So I modified the post section of read-cgi in Carl's script as 
follows:

     set-modes system/ports/input [binary: yes lines: no no-wait: false]

     if integer? content-length: attempt [to integer! system/options/cgi/Content-Length] 
     [
	        data: copy/part system/ports/input content-length
	    ]

 ; which is based on some code Gabriele suggested a long while ago

(3) Also, Cal's script was performing poorly for me (even on static 
files) until I modified a wait statement from [listen 0] to [listen 
0.01].

So far these two changes make the combination work quite fast for 
me.

I wonder when Dockimbel is going to release his Cheyenne web server 
... it was slated for a Dec 04 release according to his website.

Not really CGI .. but anyone knows what is involved in writing a 
mail server?

I presume that the minimum one needs to do is to listen on port 25 
and respond appropriately

You also need to make a DNS lookup to get MX records for destination 
mail servers.

I was thinking more of a simple mail server that only accepts mail 
for one's own domain.  In that case, I wouldn't need to do any mail 
forwarding. But I guess I still need to do a DNS lookup to confirm 
that the server sending mail is who they claim to be.

this is probably old, but has anyone successfully made reading GET 
and POST data working in webserv.r?

I just get none! data back...

read-cgi: func [/local data len] [
       either system/options/cgi/request-method = "POST" [
               len: to-integer system/options/cgi/content-length
               data: to-string copy/part system/ports/input len
       ] [
               data: system/options/cgi/query-string
       ]
       data
]

exactly that returns none

hopefully it doesn't have anything to do with Windows...

maybe something with set-modes too. i patched around in mine a bit.

I read your post on the mailing list and tried the code you posted. 
same thing....

set-modes system/ports/input [lines: false no-wait: false]
?

and the webserv from rebol.org?

and a non-alpha rebol? IIRC that has problems with set-modes lines.

yes, latest version of webserv.r. I also tried a simple read-io system/ports/input. 
also tried an old rebol/core version and a newer rebol/view version. 
two different machines. three different browsers. same thing.

I must have forgotten something essential...

restarted webserv.r after a change? it caches scripts.

done that many times now...

also on different rebol instances

no good idea. how do you post?

first I want GET working, haven't tried post yet, but they should 
be fetched the same way, shouldn't they? if I check system/options/cgi/request-method 
it's none

everything in system/options/cgi is none

hu? no, fetching works different. GET is part of the url. POST gets 
more data from the port. system/options/cgi should contain some environment-variables 
AFAIK.

they do. they're all empty

normal webserving works?

yes, perfectly

ok, here goes: I inserted print [mold system/options/cgi] in the 
beginning of my script

The URL I'm calling is http://192.168.1.27/index.rhtml?mode=FeatureRequests

(local machine)

and it returns:

make object! [
    server-software: none
    server-name: none
    gateway-interface: none
    server-protocol: none
    server-port: none
    request-method: none
    path-info: none
    path-translated: none
    script-name: none
    query-string: none
    remote-host: none
    remote-addr: none
    auth-type: none
    remote-user: none
    remote-ident: none
    Content-Type: none
    content-length: none
    other-headers: []
]

rhtml is not cgi

that may be it. maybe there is a bug.

well, my index.rhtml file contains script generated output which 
works, encapsulated in :[ ]:. shouldn't I be able to see cgi data?

i see no cgi-handling in the code.

if content = "rhtml" [
      content: "text/html"
      data: rhtml data
      ]

and that function does nothing

no, i mean, does not call the cgi-stuff.

but its a short function. you could turn it in a real cgi-script, 
with embedded data.

trying the same file as index.r now...
