RE: getopts of Perl is not working Tomcat 9

[Jonnalagadda, Swathi (External)]

Hi Mark,



Thank you for replying on this.



Please find below servlet configuration



<servlet>

        <servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>

        <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet</servlet-class>

        <init-param>

          <param-name>cgiPathPrefix</param-name>

          <param-value>cgi-bin</param-value>

          <param-name>executable</param-name>

          <param-value>/usr/bin/perl</param-value>

        </init-param>

        <load-on-startup>5</load-on-startup>

    </servlet>



<servlet-mapping>

        <servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>

        <url-pattern>/cgi-bin/*</url-pattern>

    </servlet-mapping>





The url we access is



http://maskedforsecurity:port/maskedapp/cgi-bin/register.cgi?-p





Please note that the cgi files are all under maskedapp/cgi-bin of webapps 
folder.



Also I have observed that even if I don’t configure cgi servlet in web.xml, the 
server is executing the cgi file but it is not able to execute getops method.



Thanks

Swathi

How is the CGI servlet configured?



What URL are you using to call the CGI servlet?
