 Posted: Fri Jan 03, 2003 10:34 pm Post subject: .NET VB EXE |
 |
|
Hey all!
I have made some standalone .exes and they work fine.
My problem is that i dont know how to make web server accept parameters ie: if i want to send something like "/cgi-bin/selectrecord.exe 3774" to web server.
log see it like "GET /cgi-bin/selectrecord.exe%203774" and program doesnt do anything.
I can use selectrecord.exe and add parameters from cmdline and it works well.
Anyone know whats wrong?
I use MS .NET VB console apps.
And second... is it possibe to use windows BAT or CMD as CGI script?
Thanks! |

You are simply breaking the CGI specification. If you want to pass a parameter, you should send a request such as "GET /cgi-bin/selectrecord.exe&203774" and retrieve 203774 from the environment variable QUERY_STRING. The CGI specification is available at http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi . It is worth reading if you want to write your own .exe CGIs.

Hmmm... That should be easy to do but it isn't possible in the current version of Abyss Web Server because you cannot enter a parameter with a CGI Interpreter (you should declare .bat files as handled by command.com or cmd.exe. But those two need an extra /c parameter on their command line to run the batch file.)
This behavior will be fixed in the next version.
An alternative solution, which is easy to do, is to write a program that takes a file name from its command line and run the following command:
%1 contains of course the 1st parameters on the command line. You can declare that program as the one that handles .bat files. That trick works great.
