Hi Ryan:
First let me thank you for sending the page on installing
rebol.
Just so you know, I ran one of my rebol cgi scripts from
my machine, using your query-string, and I got a valid
response from my browser.
I observed that got similar error
messages from my browser when I attempted your URL.
What's more - I got the same error message when I attempted
your URL without the query-string
That might suggest another problem with the script other than
the query string.
I must admit, that although I do a lot of CGI programming, I
have never used the query-string approach, neither as method="POST"
as as a hypertext link. So I am limited from commenting much
in that area.
If you choose the path-info approach here is a function used to
parse path-info.
Do note the preceding func dbg that presumes a port open to a
debug file:
;=============================================================================
dbg: func[arg][append DebugPort arg append DebugPort newline]
;=============================================================================
ParsePathInfo: func [str /local slash blk non-slash]
[
either equal? str none [dbg "No Path Info"]
[
slash: charset "/"
non-slash: complement slash
blk: copy []
parse/all str [some [copy txt some non-slash (insert tail blk txt) |
slash]]
NumPathParts: length? blk
return blk
]
]
I hope this can be of some help to you.
