Hi Sivakatirswami,
Linux web server, Apache, call Rev CGI to receive incoming Post

on startup
if $REQUEST_METHOD is "POST" then
put "" into PostIn
repeat until length(PostIn) >= $CONTENT_LENGTH
read from stdin until ""
put it after PostIn

put urlDecode (PostIn) into tDataIn
split tDataIn by "&" and "="
put keys(tDataIn) into tFields
.....etc.
There is no reason I can see (engine-side) as to why post data
should get truncated. That being said, however, you should ensure
that you pass '-ui' to the revolution engine when running as a CGI.
Has that option always been there?? And does it mean we don't need a
Darwin engine to run on OS X?
(i.e. the first line of a cgi script should be:
#! /<path to rev cgi>/revolution -ui
[ The -ui option alters a few things internally, in particular
disables attempts to create any GUIs and enables stdin/stdout on
systems - such as Win32 - which don't by default have these enabled ]
Does using the -ui option on Win32 work with IIS? I was under the
impression that the #! line wasn't read by IIS and it links the
script to an executable using its own settings.
