OK list, here is a problem that I have no answer for the last 2 days. I am working on Linux based MetaCard CGI, everything went smoothly by far except when I was trying to use "open socket". When a "open socket" command is used, the script took unreadably longer time to exit, even without any problem. I've tried to run the script under Apache as CGI and directly from the shell, both yield the same result.
You may cut the following script and save it as your .mt file in your server to tryout. Remember to modify the first line of the script to your real MC runtime engine. Thanks. ------------ script start --------- #!/home/mc/mc on startup # any local http server will do, if you have one put "www.yahoo.com:80" into thesock put the long ticks into startTicks open socket thesock close socket thesock put the long ticks - startTicks into ticksTaken put "Content-Type: text/plain"& crlf & crlf put "Ticks taken for this CGI to excute: "& ticksTaken end startup ------------ script end --------- _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
