IntrFilt 1.06- cgi Processing


This feature allows server processes using the CGI/V1.1 to be executed from this filter.

The first implementation supports cgi on the local (server) host only. Later implementation will support cgi processes running on other hosts, running OS/2, LINUX and eventaully NT.

The current implementation has been tested for simple GET and POST processing (forms). It will be supplied with a sample REXX cgi script allowing you to browse the directories of your web document space.

The cgi-sibo script provides a cgi message interface to sibo objects, such as the Interdart Mailer, and Visitors Book. This script has been tested using both the IntrFilt filter and the IBM Connection Server cgi interface. The cgi-sibo script requires the REXX sockets interface dll to be installed, this is provided with Warp Connect, and TCP/IP V2 and above. It can be downloaded from the Tools area on this site

Further work is yet required to test the security which will restrict views of the web document space, and/or to restrict access to the cgi process in a manner that is consistent with the security on normal page access.

The cgi files are currently restricted to a single pre-defined directory. This will be extended to allow different directoried for each host in a future version.
