Re: [users@httpd] result codes from Bash CGI

Doh!  PBKAS!  I originally coded with the wrong header.  Thanks for the
clarification and patience.

I see that they are easy to use and understand, but I could not find any
reference to them in the documentation.  The fact that Bash can be used as
a CGI language is in the documentation, but nothing on the helper functions
-- not even that they exist.

Is there documentation for any of these methods?  If you can point me to
the proper section of the code base I can probably figure it out and
document if necessary.

So I would do something like

echo "Status: 410 Gone"

to create a "410 Gone" result code and message?

[users@httpd] result codes from Bash CGI

[Claude Warren]

Greetings,

I am playing with Bash based CGI.  It works reasonably well.  I know that
it is not blindingly fast, but I think it will be sufficient for what I
want to do if I can solve one problem.  I can see how to generate any
result code other than 200.

Is there a way to set the result code to anything else?  If so how?  Is
there documentation?

Thank you,
Claude
