Re: CGI Programming

Hey Guys,

I have a dumb question about Environment Variables.

I know why they are used for but i trying to run an example which has a
HTML page passing data to my CGI program.

Is there anything i need to Declare/Set the environment variables on As400
to accept the values from HTML page?.

If somebody can explain me the part i need to do with Environment variables
on As400, i would really really appreciate that.

Thankyou Much.
Gade.

You need to remember, when you use Pass and Exec, it is
remapping the location of the files.  Say your site is www.somesite.com

The first line says, if someone points to
http://www.somesite.com/democgi/(some prog)
then let it go through, but get the actual files from
/QSYS.LIB/RPGISCOOL.LIB/CGISRC.FILE/CGIHTML.MBR, or in
Lib/file.mbr syntax, it is RPGISCOOL/CGISRC.CGIHTML

The next line is a bit the same, if someone points to
http://www.somesite.com/cgibin/(somefile)
then actually send them to the library RPGISCOOL and run the program.
So, if they went to http://www.somesite.com/cgibin/myprog what would happen
is the exec line would convert the "/cgibin/myprog" to RPGISCOOL/MYPROG
and try to run the program MYPROG in the RPGISCOOL library.

Make more sense?
