- <h1>ServerIO CGI Program</h1>
-
- <a name="DESCRIPTION"><img src="descript.gif" width=220 height=60 alt="Description"></a>
- <p>
- The serverio.exe program is provided to be used with the Evans Java Toolkit <strong>ClientIO</strong>() class.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Java applets cannot write directly to a web server. Instead, a server side CGI program must
- be used in conjunction with the java applet. Java passes data to a CGI program that "posts"
- the desired data to the web server file(s).
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The serverio.exe installed by the setup program is UNIX compatible. If your server is NT
- compatible, rename the serveriont.exe to serverio.exe and use it instead. If your server
- is not running on the UNIX or NT O/S then you will need to create your own server side CGI
- program or script. Please <a href="mailto:davidLevans@megsinet.net">contact us</a>
- if you need more information.
- </p>
-

-
- <h2><a name="SETUP">Setup</a></h2>
-
- <p>
- <ul>
- <li>The serverio.exe program should be placed in the cgi-bin directory of the target web server.
- <li>A <a href="#SERVERIO_INI">serverio.ini</a> file must be created in the directory where serverio.exe is located. The purpose
- of the serverio.ini file is to specify the location and name of the file where the data
- sent by your java app, using the <a href="clientio.htm">ClientIO class</a>, is to be posted.
-
- </ul>
- </p>
-
- <hr>
- <h2><a name="SERVERIO_INI">The ServerIO.INI File</a></h2>
- <p>
- Create the serverio.ini file with any ASCII text editor. The serverio.ini file should contain a
- <strong>single</strong> line of data that specifies the full file path name to be posted to by the ServerIO.EXE file.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- <dl>
- <dt><strong>Examples</strong>
- <dd>/usr/home1/yourdir/www/docs/postdir/filedata.dat
- <dd><strong>or</strong>
- <dd>../docs/postdir/filedata.dat
- </dl>
- </p>
-
- <p>
- <strong>IMPORTANT!</strong> Note that the pathname does not include "http://www.yoursite.com". This is because
- the serverio.exe file is running on a server. It sees the server directory structure
- the same way that you see it when you access the server using ftp or telnet.
