I've updated detail_page.cgi to version 2.1.1

It needs to run with version 2.1.1

I fixed a few things, and came up against a few bugs that needed to be addressed.

1) I noticed ClickTrack files were not updated/deleted unless you did a build. People running dynamic sites don't do that. Early versions of Links SQL had jump.cgi checking to see if the hit was old or not. The current version didn't. The ClickTrack file could grow out of control.

-- the fix was to add code to check the 'Hit' record, and a parameter 'delete_by' that you can set to determine how long a Click record should stay around.

2) I noticed also that the time format is stored as %yyyy%%mm%%dd%%hh%%mm%%ss%% which is *not* the Links default time format. build.cgi doesn't seem to acknowledge this, and uses 2-days as a format, which allows 24-hour slush. Anyway, the current detail_page.cgi converts the time format, so that the ClickTrack s are deleted/updated properly.

3) I added error reporting and checking, which is more consistent with Links, and it uses the standard error.html as output if an error occurs.

4) cleaned up some old version Links variables, and constructs.

I'm attaching the file here as a .tar, since it has a *lot* of changes, and want some people to check it out before I replace the download area version.

Actually, with minor modifications, you can use this to search on any field, and return/count results. These changes are the basis of the domain_display.cgi running on http://identitydots.com
