Nice you solved it. I'm still trying to solve my CGI problem, the one
that concerns file access.
Reminder: my rebol CGI script cannot open local files for
reading/parsing.
I thought it was a system setup issue, so in a previous thread I
insisted on the NT / Apache combo.
I also thought it was related to calling child scripts with do/args.
So I debugged thoroughly :
I included all the code in one CGI script
I migrated the script on a Solaris machine that runs Netscape web server.
Same problem !
Now if someone could explain me how the following is possible :
list-dir %/existing/path/
produces a correct directory listing. But with the same path,
print exists? %/existing/path/
results in false.
Note: the script does run with execution permission.
