Yes as
I thought. Ok wel I will take a look at that for sure.
Thanks, Jeremy Coulter
CGI apps are console programs that get their input via
environment variables
(e.g. QUERY_STRING and PATH_INFO) and
write their (html) output to STDOUT
So you need to put stuff into environment variables and then
use CreateProcess
or ShellExecute to run your app - piping back the output to
your server app.
But since you're in complete control of both the "webserver"
and the CGI app
you could handle this any way you want - there's no need to
follow CGI rules
unless you have some other reason for wanting the server app
to be CGI.

Subject: [DUG]: RE: Calling CGI
apps
HI all.
Ok, I dont think I made my question very clear...heres a revamped
version.
I have an app that runs as a normal app, but also has a
component in it
that is an HTTP server component. The reason being for
remote administration via port 80.
The machine it runs on DOESN'T have
IIS or PWS or Apache or ANYOTHER webserver on it.
Therefore, when i goto
http://localhost/admin the application itself loads the main admin page.
Ok, no, what I am trying to do is avoid Bloat in this application, and
want to beable to put the logic
into a CGI app, and have teh application
call it when it gets asked to on port 80.
Does any one know how I can do
this ? I realize that if I make a CGI app. in Delphi,
that when you run
it, it will output the outut to a commandline...do I have to look at that ?
Thanks, Jeremy Coulter
