passing and recognizing cgi variables
[1/2] from: webmaster:siliconspecies at: 27-Aug-2000 21:01
this is concerning a cgi app i am writing
the app passes variables using a GET and calls itself
so each time the cgi is run it would behave differently depending on what
vars are being passed
Oddness:
first time in works fine
after that I get a general server failure error
can't seem to figure out why
note I tried retrieving the returned variables according to the official guide:
user-data-object: make object! decode-cgi system/options/cgi/query-string
that did not work
just returned ?object? when I printed it out so I changed it to:
user-data: decode-cgi system/options/cgi/query-string
which is a block i think but not the right form:
["var1name" "var1value" "var2name" "var2value", etc]
as opposed to:
[var1name: "var1value" var2name: "var2value" ,etc.]
anyway thanks

Try:
probe user-data-object
to see what's inside the object.
I hope that helps.
