Hi,
I'm running htdig version 3.2 beta 3 on a solaris 8 Sun box, and I'm
having trouble getting a wrapper script for htsearch to work properly.
Here's the symptoms:
If I run the script from a command line prompt, and REQUEST_METHOD is
unset, then I get the right output.
If I run the script thru http as a proper CGI, then it seems that
htsearch does run, but I get no results.
If I explicitly set REQUEST_METHOD to GET in the wrapper, then I get no
sensible output at all (as if the wrapper weren't even running).
The kicker is that under solaris 7 everything worked just fine.
Here is the fragment of the wrapper that calls htsearch. NOTE: by the
point this that this fragment runs, I've already done
$ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} = 'GET';
Can anyone suggest what's wrong?
my $c = "$htsearch -c $digconf words=$query | ";
if (! open (IN, $c)) {
Message (div ("Could not start htsearch."));
return 0;
}
Message (div ("STARTING SEARCH |$c|"));
Message (div ("REQUEST_METHOD: ", $ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'}));
# SKIP THE MIME HEADERS, AND THE 'BLANK LINE' AFTER IT.
readline <IN>;Message (div ("0: ", $_));
readline <IN>;Message (div ("1: ", $_));
# BY SETTING $/, WE READ INPUT IN CHUNKS SEPARATED BY BLANK LINES.
# THAT IS, ONE READ == ONE ENTRY.
local $/ = "";
while (<IN>) {
$items++;
if (/^Error/) {
Message (div ($_));
close (IN);
return 0;
} elsif (/^result:/) {
@results = (@results, $_);
$found++;
} else {
# ASSUME THIS IS SOME HTML STUFF THAT SHOULD APPEAR IN THE
OUTPUT.
Message ($_);
}
}
close (IN);
Cheers.
