 |
|
I've been checking around, and I may have this backwards but it seems your CGI support is all for passing scripts to certain interpreters.
What if I have an .exe on Win2k already? How do I configure Abyss to work that type of CGI?
Thanks,
Trevor |

I wasn't entirely clear in my previous post. What I meant was that I've configured the the cgi alias correctly and can retreive the .exe file as a file but I can't get the .exe to execute on its own as a cgi.
http://www/cgi-bin/rwcgi.exe?asdf=234+xyz=233
results in the file being sent to the browser rather than having the query string passed to it.
Hope that makes it a bit clearer. |

.exe CGIs are fully supported. The .exe file must be in a CGI Path directory. You can simply add / to the CGI Paths to have this done.
You must also have a Win32 executable. Abyss Web Server won't run DOS or Win16 executables (DJGPP for example says it is a 32 bit compiler but produces 16 bit .exe).

| Ah - my exe is a 16-bit application. |
