It is easy to overestimate the overhead of CGI. Unless you are getting tens of requests every second, the overhead is insignificant, and CGI is pretty easy to handle and debug. >******************************************************** >this is the ASP code when using GET method: > ><%@ LANGUAGE = Python%> > ><% >import sys >sys.stdout=sys.stdin What do you believe that statement is doing? >POST by the way seems to have a 100 kb limit so why ever use it unless >you need to keep the data out of the URL?) No, POST doesn't have a 100 kB limit. When you upload a file to a web site, it's sent through a POST request. However, keeping data out of the URL is a big factor. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
