Your email was a little difficult to decode as it was afflicted with numbered
codes. I hope I've read it right.
If your folder structure is:
root
|--cgi-bin
|--httpdocs
Then this should work:
filename: rejoin [ %../httpdocs/ destpage ".html" ]
either exists? filename [
print "have it" ][
print ["couldn't find " file-name clean-path file-name]
]
If it doesn't, the clean-path part should help you see exactly where it is
looking.
A possible problem is that you are looking outside the sandbox.....Have you
got -cs in the shebang line? eg:
#! ........./rebol/rebol.exe -cs
Possibly irrelevant, but if destpage is a value supplied by a user, then do
make sure it is safe. A hacker could attempt to get you to display a file you
weren't expecting by typing something like
http://wwwyoursite.com?your-cgi.r?page=../../../../../etc/bin/passwords
