Thanks. The 'how' is not really relevant- I can learn from your PHP SOAP example and re-write in Python. I'm mostly interested in the 'what' (i.e. "what to do" to make it work). I have a .htaccess file on the hosted webserver. Can I do something with that? From what I've read the cgi subsystem is independent of the user authentication. i.e. the cgi can only be run *if* the user was authenticated. This means I have to set up authentication on the server somehow. However, if I authenticate J.Randomuser I need to allow him access to only that cgi script and not to all the other server stuff that is being hosted (i.e. my mail and other files). I have no idea what I am doing (in case you hadn't figured it out). Whatever I do I need to understand the techniques so that I can re-apply them when the form-and-webpage-generator moves to another server. Undoubtedly it will move somewhere where there is no Python and everything is in Korean. :( Thanks, Andrew (Obligatory Linux content- the server is running Red Hat)
