[REBOL] CGI Re:(2)
Though, as noted on an earlier message on this list, doing so means that you will only get one value from a multi-select input.

Actually, one doesn't have to, but it's safer for your software if you so, as you can put arbitrary Rebol code in the cgi url. Putting the results of the decode-cgi in a object minimises the damage the Rebol code can do.

[REBOL] cgi Re:(2)
Well, using... cgi-input: make object! decode-cgi system/options/cgi/query-string and then calling "comments-reference" using cgi-input/comments-reference from the url... http://www.beosjournal.com/cgi-bin/displaycomments.cgi?comments-reference= 2715121834 Worked! I can now view the comments page, although there are no comments yet and here is why: I need to send another reference value to another script which processes submitted comments. When I try to submit a comment, I get an error because the url ends up being as follows... http://www.beosjournal.com/cgi-bin/processcomments.cgi?article-reference= 2715121834?heading=First+commentbody=No+comment.name=Gemail=g%40g.mib As you can see, I try to pass an "article-reference" value by appending the url and then also try to pass form values along with the same query string, producing double "?" query string markers. I'm working on this. I need to figure out how to pass a static value with a form, one that is not generated or chosen by the submitter. -Ryan

Howdy, Daniel: Thank you for your help, everyone. This is how far I've got until now : Apparently, file access is working normally only in the first cgi script launchedby Apache, all itschild processes (subsequent calls of scripts, whether they reside in cgi-bin or elsewhere) have problems to access the local file system. That's an odd one. We'll have a closer look at that one when we can (cgi with apache for windows, right?), but unfortunately don't have a decent answer for why you're seeing that behavior right now. Is having your cgi-bin script reading and writing files outside of cgi-bin what you want to accomplish? Perhaps you could have a separate rebol process running living in the directory that you want to write files in that talks through ports to the cgi-bin program. This background REBOL process could do the writing and reading of files on the cgi-bin script's behalf. -jeff
