- This folder contains several AppleScript scripts saved as text files and a
- single applet suitable to use as a CGI application with MacHTTP. These scripts
- were written to accompany my online lessons on how to write CGI applications
- for MacHTTP using AppleScript. You can access those lessons at:
-
- http://www.uwtc.washington.edu/Computing/WWW/ExtendingMacHTTP.html
-
- These lessons proceed from the most basic script (Script1.txt), which returns
- all of the parameters without any processing, to several advanced examples,
- which send e-mail or provide guestbook features for your site. Only the e-mail
- example is available in this archive. The rest will be made available
- on the WWW site above, after they have been fully tested.
-
- The easiest way to test these forms and CGI's on your own server is to put
- this folder in the same directory as MacHTTP. Every form will then be
- referenced as "/LessonScripts/[form name here]". Every CGI is referenced by
- relative URL, so there is no need to change the forms.
- WARNING: THIS WILL NOT WORK IF YOU ARE USING "OPEN FILE" OPTION ON NETSCAPE
- (or something similar with other WWW browsers). When you load the HTML page
- directly from disk (the URL looks like "file://") instead of from MacHTTP
- (where the URL will be "http://") you lose the ability to launch the CGI
- apps correctly. To fix this either load the page from MacHTTP (preferable), or
- change the URL in the form so it is a complete URL
- (e.g., http://[your server name]/LessonScripts/[CGI app name]).
-
- The contents of this folder are not public domain. They may be freely used and
- modified for use on any site running MacHTTP, but they may not be published in
- any form, electronic or otherwise, without my written permission. I would
- appreciate it if sites which use these scripts would acknowledge their source
- (myself) somewhere on the site.
