You've got the essence there, you *do* need to send to STDout...
Maybe your cgi just needs a little tweaking.
---- Here's a sample cgi (not in Euphoria though...):
#!/bin/ksh -p
# FingerMe.cgi from my webpage
echo Content-type: text/plain
echo ""
finger crwhite at dcsun1.comp.brad.ac.uk
---- And another one:
#!/bin/ksh
# Beta directory reader
echo Content-type: text/html
echo
echo "<HTML>"
echo "<HEAD><TITLE>File lister test</TITLE></HEAD>"
echo "<BODY>"
echo "<H1>Directory of $1</H1>"
echo "<PRE>"
### snip echo(es of) html stuff
echo "</PRE><HR>"
echo "<BR>"
The point I'm trying to make here is the "Content-type:" and the blank
lines have to be there. Without them the cgi doesn't work.
HTH,
Carl
