[REBOL] Troubles in CGI land
From: stevej::sieve::net at: 25-Apr-2001 0:40
Hi fellow REBOL nerds,
I downloaded the newest REBOL/View yesterday and have been playing around
with it again but I'm having a problem with a simple CGI script.
Inside of my cgi-bin, I have a script called test.r, which is the
following:
--------------------------------------
#!/usr/local/rebol/rebol -cs
print "Content-Type: text/plain"
print "" ;
print "Hello!"
send [stevej--sieve--net] decode-cgi input
---------------------------------------
The permissions are 755 (rwxr-xr-x), other cgi's run out of this directory
just fine, and I'm able to use rebol from the command-line with no problem,
with the rebol executable referenced above.
Unfortunately, when I call this CGI from a webbrowser, it starts a download
(I assume because of a lack of a Content-Type header) of the following
text:
{** Near: size: size-text self
all [
para para/origin size: size + para/origin
para/margin size: size + para/margin
]
... (funky escape characters)
(you can see this for yourself at http://sieve.net/cgi-bin/test.r)
What is this? When I run that single line from within the REBOL/View
environment, it works fine. I'm baffled. There's nothing in my apache
error logs, and no obvious sign of problems. I'm too new to the langauge
to really diagnose it farther so I'd like to call on you kids for
some help.
BTW my prefs.r in /usr/local/rebol are such:
REBOL [Title: "User Preferences" Date: 24-Apr-2001/2:34:51-7:00 ]
name: "steve jenson"
pass: none
express: "none"
server: "localhost"
script: "none"
proxy-user: none
proxy-pass: none
root: none
poll-time: none
connect-wait: none
log: true
debug: false
window-size: none
window-offset: 689x529
icon-offset: none
keymap: none
auto-connect: true
always-close: true
desktop: false
skin: none
I'm running Linux 2.2.16 and apache 1.3.19. The REBOL/View in question
is: REBOL/View/Pro 1.1.0.4.2 17-Apr-2001
Thanks for any help,
steve
