Hi all. I'm in the process of modifying an existing CGI script. There is a page of HTML which has an anchor to the script which, when run, modifies the HTML file which linked to it and redisplays it. At present this is done by returning just the header line Location: http://www.domain.com/ref

Hey all, Anyone move scripts between IIS and Apache or need to write scripts that work on both? The problem I'm facing is that IIS reports the current working directory (CWD) as the root dir of the "application" as defined in the IIS control panel while apache reports the CWD as the actual direct
