Quick and dirty one:
- create alias of MetaCard application, named as "mc.cgi"
- place the alias in "WebSTAR:cgi-bin:" folder
- login with WebSTAR admin
- create a new action in the "Actions" tag -- Action "MC", Path
":cgi-bin:mc.cgi" (without quotes), Save it.
- go to "MIME Mapping" tag, create a mime suffix for MC action:-
Action "MC", Suffix: ".mc", Type: "*", Creator: "*", MIME type "text/html",
save it.
- restart WebSTAR (must do this)
- launch MetaCard and create a new stack, place the following code in the
stack script.
on appleEvent class, eventID, sender
if class & eventID <> "WWW�sdoc" then pass appleEvent
put "----,kfor,user,pass,addr,svnm,svpt,scnm,"& \
"ctyp,refr,Agnt,Kact,Kapt,post,meth,Kcip,"& \
"Kfrq,Kcid,DIRE" into aeArg
put "" into tmp
repeat for each item argName in aeArg
request appleEvent data with keyword argName
put argname &": "& it &"<br>"& cr after tmp
end repeat
reply "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"& crlf & \
"Content-type: text/html"& crlf & crlf &\
"<html><head><title>CGI Echo Result</title></head>"&\
"<body><b>CGI returned result test:</b><br><br>"& tmp &\
"</body></html>"
end appleEvent
- keep the stack open and front most.
- launch your browser, type "http://yourMachineIP_or_Domain/.mc
Note: try something:
http://yourMachineIP_or_Domain/dddd/ssss/ccccc/metacard.mc?field=abc
and see what the server returned.
Have fun!
