I get errors if I try to search or edit the wiki, e.g. http://cgi-app.org/index.cgi?action=edit&page_name=CGIpmAlternatives
I sent email to [email protected] but it bounced. I wanted to make a note on the wiki about a difference I found between CGI::Simple and normal CGI. I'm using apache mod_rewrite and PATH_INFO to get "clean URLs", e.g. http://mysite.com/account/edit turns into a call to account.cgi, and runmode "edit" is executed. I was also guarding against cross site scripting by doing something like the following sub edit { ... if($self->query->url_param > 0) { error condition, looks like x-site scripting } With CGI::Simple, the above works. I recently switched over to Fast::CGI and following the wiki instructions http://cgi-app.org/index.cgi?FastCGI I'm no longer using CGI::Simple. The above "if" statement started triggering in my unit test code. url_param() is returning a parameter named "keywords". I finally tracked this down to "If the script was invoked as an <ISINDEX> script and contains a string without ampersands (e.g. "value1+value2+value3") , there will be a single parameter named "keywords" containing the "+"-delimited keywords." I guess this is because I'm using PATH_INFO... not sure. CGI::Simple doesn't return a "keywords" param, but CGI.pm does. So, the fix is if($self->query->url_param > 1) { error condition } # note, param "keywords" is present when using CGI.pm, but not when using CGI::Simple -- Mark ##### CGI::Application community mailing list ################ ## ## ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp ## ## ## ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ## ## ################################################################
