You must set 2 evironment variables that are normally used only
by CGI: REQUEST_METHOD and QUERY_STRING. These variables must
be encoded according to URI standards.
If REQUEST_METHOD and QUERY_STRING are not set, htsearch will
default to interactive mode. I hacked up a patch to support
issueing query strings on the command line and Gilles wrote
a cleaner version that should now be in the CVS. You might
like to try a snapshot or wait for the next release of ht://Dig ,-)
