Thanks for your reply,
I have tried other cgi's and have the same problem when a ? is used. I really think
it possibly might be the apache httpd.conf config somehow that limits the ? . But anyway here is a ton if info whats going on.
This cgi is someone elses script that was freely available which can be found below
to review the actual cgi perl code. Below is my setup configs and errors I'm seeing.
Please note this is on redhat apache ssi web server which I have a feeling is holding back some uri excape unexcape stuff which is a wild guess on my part.
You can find the script here:
------
Command line check... i have another cgi in same directory that works ok
so web server knows its an enabled CGI directory to run your CGI from.
-------
root search# perl ./linkjump.cgi
Content-type: text/html
<html>
<head>
<title>CGI Error</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>CGI Error</h1>
<h3>Script was called with unsupported REQUEST_METHOD.</h3>
</body>
</html>
root search# perl ./linkjump.cgi?URL=http://www.nitroblast.com
Can't open perl script "./linkjump.cgi?URL=http://www.nitroblast.com":
No such file or directory
Above is understandable on command line why it can't be found but also thought perl
would be smart enough to pickup the ? in the command line.
