[cobalt-users] Passing Parameters to a CGI without special characters

[Christopher VanOosterhout <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a script that I can not get to work on my Cobalt server and I am 
wondering if someone can help me ...

This particular script gets parameters from the URL without the use of 
special characters and I have seen it work on other sites ... without a 
problem, so I am wondering if there is something I need to do in the server 
configuration.

The script is called guestbook and is located in my cgi directory (local-cgi)

so ... it is http://www.yanmardirect.com/local-cgi/guestbook/

however, it needs to have parameters passed to it ... the single parameter 
it needs is the location of a file ...(a .gb)(a configuration file).

The way it accepts the parameter is in the URL like this 
http://www.yanmardirect.com/local-cgi/guestbook/gbdata/mailinglist.gb

so as to find the file located at 
http://www.yanmardirect.com/gbdata/mailinglist.gb and pass it onto the 
guestbook script.

I have seen it work before on other servers ...

Thanks,

Chris
