I'm I just missing something!? I've tested creating my own console executables in RB and they do indeed execute on servers from hostgator (http://www.theplanet.com), etc. Its appealing to me for (hopefully) for performance, obfuscation-by-lack-of-popularity (is RB in use out there in the cgi-bin's of the world?), and ease (I'm quickly generating code in RB for my traditional desktop apps, why not use it on the multitude of ISPs out there). But for the life of me the first hurdle was getting POST and GET data into RB and getting print output back to the client browser. Luckily I came across cgi-telnet and realized that hacking its shell proccessing revealed how easy it is to capture console output and spit it back to the browser. But this means having a Perl script laying around to invoke my RB console app. I haven't tried sending POST or GET data to RB yet, but I imagine its just a matter of passing them in as commandline arguments. Is there an easier way, or is there a cross-platform servlet index/group/topic I'm just clearly missing somewhere on these boards? Is RB just not in this extremely useful and beneficial market segment?
