Gentlefolk,
Environment: Linux Mint 17.3, ABYSS 2.9.3.6 (New install). CGI executable - NATIVE code (PASCAL).
Reading lots of documents one configures the "scripting parameters" "scripting interpreter parameter" to point to the script interpreter (examples are generally ?.exe or ?.cgi).
The script type is then generally .PL, etc.
Operating CGI in "native" mode there is no script type. How/what do I configure here????
After a new install I set the "Docs" pointer to ~/WEB.
Saved an index.html file in WEB.
Saved the native CGI code in WEB as "web1".
HTTP to 127.0.0.1:8000/index.html and the index form displays.
HTTP to 127.0.0.1:8000/web1 and I get a window informing me that I have chosen to open Web1, save it, etc,...
I have tried all sorts of things like renaming the native CGI code to "web1.cgi" and trying
http://127.0.0.1:8000/web1.cgi, etc. No go, some time a 404, mostly the attempt to download the native code.
The native CGI code talks: I can in the shell via STDIN, execute "echo "hello" | ./web1" and it reports an exception that I recognise from the native code.
The frustrating thing is I had this working some time ago. Saved all the files for the native CGI and ABYSS, loaded a new vrsion of Mint, re-installed, etc.
Any help appreciated, Ian.
