Odd thing is... if I post the name and email address (only two fields in this form) to the CGI from a web form.. it works..
but if we try to post the same two values via a standard URL, with the input values appended in the normal way a URLencoded string, the CGI does respond, but it tells us that standardIn is returning empty??
The beginning of the CGI is straightforward:
on startup
read from stdin until empty
put it into temp
put urlDecode (it) into tDataIn
put tDataIn into tRemit
split tDataIn by "&" and "="
put isWellFormedMailtoScheme (tDataIn ["email"]) into emailCheck
switch emailCheck## etc. process the subscription.. only two values expected, name and email address...
But this:
http://www.hinduismtoday.com/cgi-bin/ send_sub_request.cgi?name=Aloha+test&email=jiva%40hindu.org
doesn't work... standardIn returns empty.
but this online service for auto generating posts to CGI's does work:
http://www.io.com/~jsm/nph-ap.cgi/http://www.hinduismtoday.com/cgi-bin/ send_sub_request.cgi?name=Aloha+test&email=jiva%40hindu.org
Any clues on why standardIn would be empty on one and not on the other? Or strategies for testing?
Thanks
