Knowing nothing at all about any of these issues, I went ahead and built the form for setting times etc. on my blinder-thingie using how-to's and a couple of similar pages as template. This is on the weblet that comes with bering 1.0rc2. It's GET, plain and simple, it works nicely, and the sort of string that is passed to my script by weblet in $QUERY_STRING is: SelDAY=1&SUNUP=0630&SUNRISE=30&SUNDOWN=2230&SUNSET=1&ONOFF=1 Just to be sure, I went and checked the script that parses this, and it does indeed look for the '='s (and the '?'s) in order to break it up. I looked at sh-httpd, and I see the place in do-cgi() where it checks for '*=*', but either: There's something I don't understand, or It doesn't work as intended... (?) I just thought I should mention this, in case someone is about to go over sh-httpd, and passing multiple arguments in this fashion is a no-no... > My understanding is cgi scripts recieving data like the above example > via a GET or HEAD request are supposed to refer to the QUERY_STRING > variable, which should be properly exported by sh-httpd. - or maybe this explains it? In any case, FWIW I agree that authentication, however nice it would be, can't compete with tunneling through ssh... 0.02 <currency> Regards, Jon ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek No, I will not fix your computer. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
