Yes

In that case, you'll need to have the libUrl library loaded somehow.

That's how I got it working before (Unix host, bsd rev engine). Now with a Linux server, it doesn't appear to be working...hmm anyway of checking? is there a site I can post to to check? Could be a useful tool.

I just tried and realised the likely problem.

Did you make the "myliburl.rev" file from a recent version of Rev? If so, the libUrl script will cause a problem with the older cgi engine. Versions of liburl from 1.1 or later include the open secure socket syntax which Rev engine versions prior to 2.6.1 won't like.

Two ways round this:

Make the myliburl.rev stack with an older version of Rev.

or

After making the myliburl.rev stack, edit the stack script and search for lines that contain "open secure socket" (there should be 2) and comment them out.

I just did the latter, and I can post from the cgi script on a Linux server.

Cheers
Dave
