I have a website that right now, runs by creating static html pages from a cron job that runs nightly. I'd like to add some search and filtering features using a CGI type script, but my script will have enough of a startup time (maybe a few seconds?) that I'd like it to stay resident and serve multiple requests. This is a side-project...
We just got our first major Perl CGI assignment in my CS class. Our task is to create an mp3 sharing site that allows users to create accounts, log in, share mp3's. Statistics must be shown of current users, mp3's available, etc. All actions must be written to a log file. Our code must be secure. So far, I have implemented each of th...
i have cgiproxy (http://www.jmarshall.com/tools/cgiproxy/), which lets users use it to navigate pages. it seems like myspace.com detects it and forwards the user to google.com doing a quick test to determine my ip using the proxy fails, meaning it doesn't reveal my ip. it shows proxy server's ip. <?php if (getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FO...

In the source code of the Perl module CGI.pm, in the submodule CGI::Cookies.pm, there is the following line: $raw_cookie = $ENV{HTTP_COOKIE} || $ENV{COOKIE}; I'm interested in $ENV{COOKIE} here. Are there any web servers (obsolete or otherwise) which transmit cookie information using the COOKIE environment variable instead of the HTTP...
I have a Python script that outputs something every second or two, but takes a long while to finish completely. I want to set up a website such that someone can directly invoke the script, and the output is sent to the screen while the script is running. I don't want the user to wait until the script finishes completely, because then a...
Hey guys, I am a Flex developer and never used CGI before. I wanted to create a solution whereby A flex would call a CGI script to read a database.

How do I raise an http error/exception from a python CGI script? Is all that is necessary is to print the appropriate header: print '''Status: 501 Not Implemented Content-type: text/html ''' That doesn't seem to work right.

Following this guide on CentOS 5.2, just getting nagios set up for the first time. The main page shows up just fine, but when I try to view any of the pages that should be generated by a cgi process, firefox prompts me to save the .cgi instead, so apache's obviously not understanding that it needs to run the cgi and get back some html f...
I'm trying to write a quick cgi app in c#. I need to get to the stdout stream and write some binary data. The only thing I can find to do this is Console.Write, which takes text. I've also tried Process.GetCurrentProcess().StandardOutput.BaseStream.Write which doesn't work either. Is this even possible? ...
I have seen the examples of Net::OpenID::Consumer::Lite on CPAN but I was hoping to get a single script that uses POST method. If nobody has this than I will post my solution back here once I get it working. ...
Hello stackoverflow, I'm working on a homework assignment in Perl CGI using the CGI.pm module. In my code I am checking for a cookie. If the cookie exists, I want to initiate another CGI script. In other situations I was able to use similar code, but in this instance I merely get the following browser output, not the redirect that I w...

However, now I would like to add the ability to stream files successively, as in a playlist, how can I modify my code to accommodate this?

I've taken over supporting a time- and expense-entry system. Apache's CGI. CGI programs are written in bash :) I'm going to add some features into it and exposing it out to many more users, but prior to that wanted to get some thoughts on what else needs to be looked-at first in terms of security, holes, CGI gotchas, &c. Not a lot of...

I've written a PHP script that has to fork and do some processing in parallel, and then the main page returns data after processing. I'm currently using the pcntl functions to do this. I need to run anywhere between 2 and 10 threads to work in parallel, and I have to wait until I get a result from all of the threads before the script out...
Hi there, I'm using HTTP POST to call a cgi script on a web server and send along some data as arguments. Some of the arguments can contain quite a bit of data. This seems to be a problem for the web server and I am getting error 414 (Request URI too long) as a result. My URI ends up looking something like this: http://somewebsite.com...
