 |
|
I have successfully written a few cgi scripts using delphi 7. They are very basic because I am learning.
I have written one simple form which invokes a script as follows -
-
ShellExecute(Handle, 'explore', PChar('c:\windows'), nil, nil, SW_SHOW)
-
What this does in delphi is run windows explorer and shows the c:\windows folder. The script gets that far but then the server gives a 500 error (internal server error) and the log file states 'broken pipe'.
Does CGI require that the parameters from the form actually undergo some processing? I am tired from beating my head against the problem, so I thought i would rahter ask somebody than continue my self-mortification.
regards

capsicum,
The CGI application you wrote seems to not send the CGI headers which are required. Any CGI application should at least send these headers:
The second empty line contains only a carriage return (character 13 in ASCII).
Can you post here the full source code?

It seems "capsicum" solved his or her problem. But if there is an interest, I've been fiddling with a Delphi CGI counter that works, based on the following counter: http://homepages.borland.com/aohlsson (if it's still there, haven't checked)
"capsicum" can reply to this message if there still are problems. I might be able to help. Code is too verbose to post here, so it has to be made via e-mail, if at all. |
