Writing Scripts
Writing scripts for NCSA httpd should not be a problem. You can write
them in C, PERL, /bin/sh, or ANYTHING that will produce a UNIX
executable program.
There are two major ways of accessing a script. Listed are the methods
(for use with the Limit directive),
and their uses.
- GET
- Widely supported
- Responds to HTML <ISINDEX> documents
- Limited response to HTML forms
- POST
- Fully responds to any size HTML form.
We recommend you start with writing GET
scripts, and if you're interested, read about writing POST scripts.
