Somebody asked a question on the mailing list related to running LiveCode CGI
scripts using LiveCode Server - Livecode CGIs co-existing with old-school Rev
2.x CGIs (Basically, he's trying to avoid changing the Apache configuration
file).
I don't see any reason that you can't use LiveCode Server to run CGI scripts so
I thought that I'd experiment.
First I ran a simple script from the command line:
<?lc
set the outputLineEndings to "lf"
put "content-type: text/plain" & return & return
put "Hello from a LiveCodeServer CGI script" & return
?>
$LiveCodeServer/livecode-server cgi-bin/livecode.cgi
content-type: text/plain
Hello from a LiveCodeServer CGI script
Next, I added the shebang line and ran it again:
#!/Users/peter/Sites/LiveCodeServer/livecode-server
<?lc
set the outputLineEndings to "lf"
put "content-type: text/plain" & return & return
put "Hello from a LiveCodeServer CGI script" & return
?>
$ cgi-bin/livecode.cgi
#!/Users/peter/Sites/LiveCodeServer/livecode-server
content-type: text/plain
Hello from a LiveCodeServer CGI script
As you can see, LiveCode Server printed it's Shebang line and then executed the
script. This stops the script from being able to be run as a script - browsers
don't know what to do with the shebang line. This is also an nuisance for
anybody wanting to use LiveCode Server for command line scripting.
Should I report this as a bug?
Regards
Peter
