Thank you very much for the previous reply, Irv!
Anyway here one more strange thing. Again I am not sure whether my code
is poor or there's some error in Euphoria generally. I would like to ask
some guys having linux experience to test and give me feedback.
I think that if I send the form data by POST method then a 0 (zero)
ASCII code appears instead of one or another character. I suppose that
it happens in case of very long input strings. But I am not sure. I use
something similar to get "POST" form data into my Query variable.
(Object temp is just a temporary variable.)
while 1 do
temp=gets(0)
if atom(temp)=1 and temp=-1 then exit end if
if temp[length(temp)]='\n' then temp=temp[1..length(temp)-1] end if
Query&=temp
end while
Thanks for your help in advance!
Regards,
Salix

Dear Irv,
Please find attached an .HTM and a short .EX for thestinf the mysterious
1041th character of a POST string. Of course the "action" paramter
should be changed in the HTM as well as the first line of the .EX
according to your configuration.
I also made some tests. My results whether POST input contains the right
character (OK) or submits 0 (Err) at the 1041th place in case of
following setups are following.
Xitami 2.4d1 and Win95
OK MSIE 3.0 (4.70.1158) and Win95
OK Netscape Navigator 4.08 and Win95
OK Opera 5.01 and Win95
Xitami 2.3d1 and Win95
OK Netscape Navigator 4.08 and Win95
Apache/1.3.19 (Unix) and Linux
Err Netscape Communicator 4.76 and Win95
Err Opera 5.0 and Win95
Err Mozilla (2001031614) and Linux
I am looking forward to your results, tips, ideas...!
Regards,
Salix

Success. The problem is, I think, a bug in Euphoria, or perhaps in
ncurses, which Euphoria uses for input/output. I wrote a perl program
which reads the entire thing without problem, so it's not an Apache problem.
If you change the Euphoria pgm. get a single character at a time, using
getc(0),
things will read ok.
I added an integer variable len, and used value() to convert the
environment("CONTENT_LENGTH")
Then a loop
Query = ""
for i = 1 to len do
Query &= getc(0)
end for
This reads the entire text, no 0 character anywhere.
Regards,
Irv
