This subject has come up a number of times in this list. Best bet is to
check the archives at the address at the bottom of this mail.
Basically :
1. Use MetaCard 'Sockets' to directly talk to your HTTP server
2. Your brand of http server is irrelevant
3. Run your http server on port 80 and your Metacard based CGI server on
another port (eg 81) if you want them on the same machine.
4. Calls to the CGI server can be made from forms or links
5. Make sure you remember to call the correct port
I've got a Metacard CGI shell which I use on Mac, Windows and UNIX (big
thanks to others on this list !!!). All I have to do is change a few lines
of code or alter a function 'et voilá' a new CGI in minutes !
I'd be happy to write some instructions and upload it to a shared area if
there is enough interest. However I can't offer support.
Can you email me off list if you're interested (or if you think this is a
bad idea) ?
Thanks
