Some. To continue clarifying: The phrase "cgi script" refers to a server-side script that is run in response to the user clicking something on the client. That's what you expect it to be, right? Do you expect the plugin to display a form? Or to ouput a form that the client will display? You've got lots of stuff going on here. I count at least five programs and three network connections. How much is working, and which parts are you trying to do in Python? <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
