I have a registered copy of the httpd.dll and I was wondering can it do this ?

I have a web page named index.htm Containing a form. Eg.

Username [ ]

Password [ ]

[Submit]

And when running the example web server included with the httpd.dll the web page (index.htm) displays ok.

The form properties are:

<form action=login.exe method=post>

<input name=username type=text size=50 value=>

<input name=password type=text size=50 value=>

<input name=submit type=submit value=submit>

</form>

the program login.exe is in the same directory as the index.htm

When I click submit, it says the page can not be found…..
Can i get the web server to run the login.exe file and process the information?

The executable's permissions may have to be set. I don't run my own server
so I'm not sure. But also it might not be able to work that way on your
computer with this extension.

Another thing you might try would be to specify the whole path to the
EXE in your form. Wink

If I remember right I don't think httpd.dll has the ability to run CGI or executables. There is no way to mark a folder as Executable from this extension.

I think the only way to do this would be to run a web server other than
VDSHTTPD. I'm not sure if you installed the PHP interpreter if you could
have VDSHTTPD use that. However, I think that is extension is only
capable of serving simple HTML files etc.

Hi Nathan,

Like I mentioned before, you can try to use the HTTP server I made with Tommy's vdsinet.dll. You can download it here.

Thanks, skit but i just could not get it to do what i wanted. I tried changing the Script but no go.

I have decided not to pursue the Web Server Idea, as it poses to many security problems...
