Let's say, on a coldfusion site, that the user has navigated to http://www.example.com/sub1/ The server-side code typically used to tell you what URL the user is at, looks like: http://#cgi.server_name##cgi.script_name#?#cgi.query_string# however, "cgi.script_name" automatically includes the default cfm file for that folder- eg, that ...

Learning the basics of XML for the first time from W3C tutorials. How are most XML files generated? Does the server side application usually print a complete XML file to be parsed each time there is new data? I have a CGI application in C and it includes the SQLite API. Is the best way to do some sort of printf to a XML file (using my ...
My school internal webserver is still running PHP v4.. (Not sure exactly). I went ahead and wrote all the labs and assignments on my local machine, which is running 5.2.5. Now, none of my code works on the school machine because the functionality simply is not there. I have access to a slew of compilers, and have downloaded the PHP v5...

I'm trying to test out modes of failure for software that interacts with a web service, and I've already had reported issues where problems occur if the software doesn't get a timely response (e.g., it's waiting a minute or longer). I'd like to simulate this so that I can track down and fix issues myself, but unplugging the network conne...

I have been using PHP for years. Lately I've come across numerous forum posts stating that PHP is outdated, that modern programming languages are easier, more secure, etc. etc. So, I decided to start learning Python. Since I'm used to using PHP, I just started building pages by uploading an .htaccess file with: addtype text/html py add...
I am working on an application that runs locally on a Fedora 10 machine through PHP and Apache. It depends on a process that runs in the background. The higher-ups want to be able to start/stop/restart the process, through the browser. I was trying to get this to work by having PHP make calls to the system using exec() and shell_exec,...

Hi everyone, I've been looking for a webserver for my project but I haven't been able to satisfy myself. I need a http server that has support for compiled CGI scripts (exe), for Windows, and must be able to use relative paths. It would be a bonus if the server could be a minimal/lightweight as possible. The hardest part in my search th...
An SQL database is overkill if your storage needs are small. When I was young and dumb, I used a text file and flock()ed it when I needed to access it. This doesn't scale, but I still feel that non-database solutions have been completely ignored in Web 2.0. Does anyone not use an SQL database for storage? What are the alternatives? ...

What should you call after printing HTML from a Perl CGI script? I have seen empty return statements, exit statements, and in some cases nothing at all. Does it matter? #!perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print <<'END_HTML'; <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1...
