Re: [MacPerl] more on vqServer

It is MacPerl-WebCGI

Its address is [email protected].  This may be the old 
address; the new address might be [email protected], but for 
the moment at least, the old address still works.  The list you 
posted to is the general MacPerl list.  For questions about CGI 
programming, it is suggested you use the WebCGI list.  The email 
address to subscribe is:

This has to do with how suffix mapping has been set in your server. 
One quick thing to try is setting the suffix to .cgi or .acgi

However, the issue I raised in my previous email stands.  You need to 
make sure this server uses the MacHTTP standard suite of AppleEvents 
to communicate with CGIs.  This may be in the documentation, but I 
was unable to find it online.  Another way to check this is to look 
for any example CGI scripts.  If these are not Mac specific, and do 
not include reference to AppleEvents, this would indicate that 
vqServer does NOT use the MacHTTP standard and thus is NOT compatable 
with the MacPerl CGI glue.
