1. Aku, Your ambilPost() Function
Aku!!! Why did you do this to me?
In your ambilPost() function you've got this code:
if atom(lenq) or length(lenq) < 1 then
qs = no10(gets(0)) --<-- look here
else
qs = get_bytes(0,val(lenq))
end if
Why do you wait for a keystroke (ENTER) here when it's supposed to be
processing a web page?!?! :)
Anyway, you might want to change that.

I think it doesn't have to be a keystroke, but a '\n'.
But actually this is the flow:
global procedure ambilPost()
-- get the length of the input, will be set by HTTP server
lenq = getenv("CONTENT_LENGTH")
-- if the CONTENT_LENGTH is not set,
if atom(lenq) or length(lenq) < 1 then
qs = no10(gets(0))
-- but in normal case, this code will be executed.
else
qs = get_bytes(0, val(lenq))
end if
parse()
end procedure
I made this so that you can use the cgi program in 2 methods:
1. The normal method: the script is executed by the HTTP server,
it will set the CONTENT_LENGTH variable and feed the input via the
stdin (fn = 0).
2. Manual method: you execute the script yourself (exu ./script.exu)
so the CONTENT_LENGTH variable is not set, and you type the
parameters yourself, followed by an Enter key (hence the gets(0)).
- For example:
[user at domain]$ exu ./script.exu
name=me&age=12<press enter here>
so the variable qs (see above) will contain "name=me&age=12"
Sorry for not stating this.

So far I'm cheating it, I think... like this:
if atom(lenq) or length(lenq) < 1 then
-- qs = no10(gets(0)) --<-- I comment this line out
qs = "" -- and return this
else
qs = get_bytes(0,val(lenq))
end if
I think it gets to that point because there are no parameters sent, but I
don't know for sure. :/
The gets(0) problem was halting the serving of HTML pages waiting for a
<RETURN>. At least, that's what it looks like to me.
