Re: HTML that calls CGI corrupted by WSDCi

Doug,

Take a look at the exec statement to see if spaces (or line breaks) are getting inserted after the "<!--" and before the "-->". I haven't used the HTML editor in WDSCi for anything but it may be trying to make comments look pretty and messing you up.

If you still can't figure it out, create a test instance of your HTTP server and start it up with option -vv. Make a request for your page and end the HTTP server. This will produce a trace log that will show you what the server is doing with your page. That may shed some light on things.

As an aside, if there is a section of that page that changes frequently, you may want to use a SSI to pull in just that part. That way, you don't have to worry about exec's getting messed up.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] HTML that calls CGI corrupted by WSDCi

Any one have this problem.
I have a programmer who has give us a main index page to our website that uses CGI to call an RPG program to validate login.
He creates and edits the page using Visual Studio developer kit, then uploads the page to our iSeries using Ops Navigator.

I then edit the page in WSDCi to change the text viewed by web visitors, usually daily. This breaks the cgi??? or some how otherwise corrupts the html so that the CGI call to the RPG nolonger works.

Anyone else have some similar experience where using WSDCi somehow invalidates pages with scripts or CGI?
