Hi,

my problem is not related to any of Gossamer Threads script but I badly need some help on this issue.

I was trying to move my website to a new server. i merely modified all the path names in my cgi scripts so no major changes were made. So I expect them to work. However I kept having difficulties running some cgi scripts. I tried to debug and found that the problem is, the cgi script does not seem to recognise $ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'}. Even though on the form, I specified FORM METHOD="POST", the request_method is still "GET".

Which is why, everytime I submit a form that will call a cgi script(which uses $ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'}), instead of sending the data and taking me to the next page, the same page (with the form) will reload but with the URL parsed with the data. (eg. form.html?name=aaa&email=aaa@xyz.com)

I would like to know, does $ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} ever work incorrectly? Or maybe, did I do something wrong that causes the problem? Any suggestions or help will be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Cheryl

if the url has the parameters in it.. then your form is set to method=GET..

That sounds like you didn't specify an ACTION tag.

Do you have a URL we can see?

Cheers,

Alex
