Re: Here is the URL for Beginning Perl

[hcohen2]

I am sorry if this appears too often,  but I have not seen several 
messages that I sent to the list distributed or appearing on the 
maillist archive.  Moreover, I am getting a lot of failed mailings.  At 
first these seemed to be bogus, since I did get replies.  However, my 
last message despite having sent it twice has received no return 
comments.  Here is my third attempt just to the mail list for perl-cgi.

Go back to the original telnet line, establish a connection, and then

how CGI scripts have to terminated headers with "\n\n" ? Hitting 
return twice is the same thing.)

This should bring back a response from the server. 

Tried this very quickly: worked fine!! Almost identical to your output.

On the other hand, now that we know you have Linux, you can probably 
do this more easily by using the "lynx" text-mode web browser. Try one 
of these lines:

lynx -dump -head http://localhost/
lynx -dump -head http://localhost:8080/
You should get back responses something like this: 

I did the lynx -dump -head http://localhost:8080/ command and I saw a
few more lines than what you list, so this implies apache is in good
shape and listening but impervious to my requests.

$ lynx -dump -head http://localhost:8080/

$ lynx -dump -head http://localhost:8080/

The details may vary, but it'll be substantially the same block. 

Here is what I am seeing that seems to have more content than you
listed. Are any clues in this listing?

If you can get this far, Apache is basically working.
If you hit errors here, you need to fix Apache.
//
I have had no luck being able to connect to my local apache server using 
http://127.0.0.1.  Same result when I drop the http;//.  Would anyone 
have a suggestion how I might connect and see my scripts execute?

Again TIA.
