Hi Scott
Thanks. Nice try..
--cgi -s << No. script just hangs.
-cs << It works, but only for read+write in the *current* directory.
Unless there is some other incantation using 'secure I am suspecting it might
be only possible when the cgi script is owned by apache.
However I did find a healthy looking example of the sort thing I ma needing to
do:

REBOL [
Title: "CGI Web Page Comment Poster"
Author: "Carl Sassenrath"
Date: 14-Sep-1999
File: %cgicomment.r
Purpose: {Allows viewers to add comments to a web page.
(needs webcomment.r to create example forms file).}
...snip code...
;-- The file name of the article is provided in a hidden input
; field within the HTML of the article. Use this string to
; build the path to the file from CGI dir. Remember that the
; file must have write permissions if you want add comments.
file: join %../web/ cgi/file
;-- Create the text of the new comment from the CGI input.
; If the type is code, then display it as preformated TTY.
new-comment: make-comment cgi/from now either cgi/type = "code" [
rejoin ["<pre>" cgi/comment </pre>]][cgi/comment]
;-- Read the HTML file, add the newest comment to it, and write
; it out. An HTML comment is used to mark where it goes.
page: read file
insert find page <!--comments--> new-comment
write file page
Carl notes "Remember that the file must have write permissions if you want add
comments."
To be sure, I set my target "uploads" folder writable to all:
drwxrwxrwx 2 jasonic jasonic 4096 Sep 3 11:46 uploads
There are images I have uploaded via http:
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 10644 Aug 30 18:37 test.jpg
and for comparison, a file which was generated by script from bash shell, not
cgi:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jasonic jasonic 69 Sep 4 18:44 testupdir.txt
So this may be entirely an Apache thing. What I am need to determine is how much
control I have within REBOL, to fix this situation.
any ideas?
