Rich,
That worked although I had to set the address to :- http://127.0.0.1:8000/friends1.html Thanks.
Good catch, sorry about that. I noticed you had spaces in the "how many" field in your form. Did your cgi still work? If not, I guess you figured that out by now too.
Interestingly, I had trouble getting the server/cgi to work with python 2.4/Windows XP.
If I started the server with python 2.4 and put 2.4 in the cgi's #! line, the cgi didn't work.
If I used 2.3 to start the server, and put 2.3 or 2.4 in the cgi's #! line, the cgi worked.
I tried the same combinations on linux, and they all worked fine.
Anyone else seen this problem with python 2.4 on windows xp? I looked quickly at diffs of the relevant codes between 2.3 and 2.4, and I did a quick bug search on sourceforge, but didn't turn up anything yet.
Of course it may not be a bug; it may be a problem with my setup. The files I used are posted below, in case anyone wants to try to reproduce the result I saw.
Thanks.
Rich
