Hi Wiggins, I wrote a simple script that is sending a request to localhost and receiving the response with LWP. As I am trying to run the script it is ending up with the error " 403 Forbidden ". I am sending the script along with this mail bellow.
I've checked the file permission of file3.cgi and put it to "-rwxrwxrwx". Could you please suggest me what and where I am making the mistake, and what should I do to overcome the error. with regards Soumyadeep The environment I am working with is : Linux Red Hat 7.3 Apache web server perl 5.6.1 The script sending a request to the server: #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use LWP::UserAgent; use LWP; my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent; my $req = new HTTP::Request POST => 'http://localhost/cgi-bin/file3.cgi'; $req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded'); $req->content('st=hi'); my $res = $ua->request($req); if($res->is_success){ print $res->content; }else{ print "Error: ".$res->status_line."\n"; } exit; Script receiving the request and sending the response to the client: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use CGI; print "Content-type:text/plain\n\n"; $query = new CGI; $str = $query->param('st'); print "here the string is : $str\n"; --- Wiggins d'Anconia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Soumyadeep nandi wrote: > > Hi All, > > > So, I have two plans to work out the situation, > these > > are as follows: > > > > 1.
