Re: OT: Converting a ASP request to CGI?

[Alessandro Forghieri]

Greetings.

Thanks to all the respondednts - as it looks my original message was too
terse, I'll try to clarify a bit.

I have an app  that already works on Apache CGI.pm, Apache::Registry and
FastCGI.
It also works under PWS/IIS as CGI - and I'll be testing it under AS's
perlex shortly.

At present, the first thing it does is

use strict;
use CGI;

sub main {
my $q=new CGI;
#...
}

main();
1;

It then goes on to its errand, using $q, $q-param, $q-print to its heart
content.

I would like to plug it into IIS's ASP engine, ideally touching nary a line
of code, something along the lines of:


% @LANGUAGE = PerlScript

use CGI:FromAsp; #our valiant package.
my $q=CGI::FromAsp-new($Request);
#
#  $q now looks and feels like a CGI.
#  also print (or $query-print) does the RIGHT THING, and %ENV is what
# we'd expect it to be.
#
if ($q-isa('CGI')) { #it is..
$q-print($q-header(-type='text/html');
frobnicate($q);
$q-print($q-end_html());

} else {
print(h1CGI:FromAsp sucks like a tornado/h1\n);
}

%

Because my current knowledge of ASP is pretty basic, I do not know if it's
even possible... though it
sure looks like it should be.

Cheers,

OT: Converting a ASP request to CGI?

Greetings.
I realize this is an Off-Topic with serious flamage potential, so I'll keep
it very short.
Is anybody aware of any module capable of doing for the ASP environment what
Apache::Registry does for mod_perl? (i.e. making an asp request look and
feel as if it were an old plain  cgi-bin)

Cheers,

Write an ASP page which then calls a CGI script.

In file blah.asp:

Dim param1, param2
param1 = Request.QueryString(param1)
param2 = Request.QueryString(param2)

Response.Redirect somewhere.cgi?param1=  param1  param2=  param2

... and so on is one way to do it, if I understand what you are asking for.

If, you are talking about perl scripting ASP, then you can 
run that under Apache::ASP, check out http://www.apache-asp.org

If you are talking about VBScript ASP, check out Chilisoft or 
Halcyon's Instant ASP. 

If you are talking about CGI scripts under Apache::ASP, just
wrap them with % % and they should work.

If something else, please clarify what you mean.
