[REBOL] Rebol cgi always prints usage information before executing script ??
From: Jean:Holzammer:faedv-n:bayern at: 27-Jun-2003 12:45
Hello,
as my web hoster doesn't support rebol officially, I tried to install it
myself.
Uploaded latest rebol/view binary (2.5.5.10) for Linux/X86 to my cgi-bin
directory and set permission to 755.
I also copied rebol.r and my script info.r to the same location.
When I call this script from the web browser, it was actually executed. But
rebol printed its usage information before it !
I tried to reproduce this at my local machine (AmigaOS 3.x/68K, Rebol
2.5.0.x) from the shell. I got the same behaviour, but only when I used an
additional option that is not known, e.g. :
rebol -cswq -dummyoption info.r
But if you compare my script with the usage template as shown in the browser
window, my script does _not_ use any unknown parameters !!!
Any ideas ? Maybe the latest rebol version has different parameters but
still old usage information ?
Regards, Jean
script info.r look like this:
#! rebol -cswq
REBOL []
print "Content-Type: text/html"
print ""
print "<pre>"
probe system/options/cgi
print "</pre>"
output in the browser is:
REBOL <options> <script> <arguments>
All fields are optional. Supported options are:
--cgi (-c) Check for CGI input
--do expr Evaluate expression
--link url Connect to Link
--help (-?) Display this usage information
--nowindow (-w) Do not open a window
--noinstall (-i) Do not install (Link, View)
--quiet (-q) Don't print banners
--reinstall (+i) Force an install (Link, View)
--script file Explicitly specify script
--secure level Set security: allow ask throw quit
--trace (-t) Enable trace mode
--uninstall (-u) Uninstall REBOL (Link, View)
Other command line options:
+q Force not quiet (Link, View)
-s No security
+s Full security
-- args Provide args without a script
Examples:
REBOL script.r
REBOL -s script.r
REBOL script.r 10:30
[test--domain--dom]
REBOL script.r --do "verbose: true"
REBOL -cswq
REBOL --cgi --secure throw --script cgi.r "debug: true"12:38
