FYI:
Here is a bug I'm working on (maybe) concerning the Jazz httpd 1.3 WWW
server. I wrote a CGI c program that creates a form by reading data from a
file and merges this data with HTML statements. To make it generic, I do
"getenv(SERVER_NAME)" and reference the server name in the ACTION of the
METHOD anchor.
...the c code to obtain SERVER_NAME:
main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
register int x,m=0,mm=0;
int cl;
char *gcl;
int button;
record *rec;
httpd=getenv("SERVER_NAME");
if (!httpd) {
error_page("Failed to obtain server name");
exit(1);
}
...}
...the "printf line in a subroutine that creates form output":
printf(" <body>\
<h2>This is a MockUp of a the purchase requisition form.\
On line ordering is currently being discussed.</h2>\
<FORM METHOD=\"POST\" ACTION=\"http://%s/cgi-bin/purchcgi\">\
<p> %c",httpd,LF);
===
IF I call up my CGI with URL:
http://test.nd.edu/cgi-bin/purchcgi
I get the correct output:
===
<body><h2>This is a MockUp of a the purchase requisition form.On line
ordering is currently being discussed.</h2><FORM METHOD="POST"
ACTION="http://test.nd.edu/cgi-bin/purchcgi"><p>
^^^^^^^^^^
SERVER_NAME reference is correct.
===
However, if I send a QUERY to the CGI with URL:
http://test.nd.edu/cgi-bin/purchcgi?abc00002
I get QUERY_STRING returned as SERVER_NAME:
===
<body><h2>This is a MockUp of a the purchase requisition form.On line
ordering is currently being discussed.</h2><FORM METHOD="POST"
ACTION="http://abc00002/cgi-bin/purchcgi"><p>
^^^^^^^^^
query string is now SERVER_NAME!
This is odd....
