Re^2: CGI: newlines, write exactly "\r\n" to end the headers, then turn off binmode

Hi,

$cgi->{POSTDATA} gives me inconsistent results depending on my server

Hmm, that isn't exactly how you spell $cgi->param('POSTDATA')

I'm sure both CGI.pm maintainer and erlang inets maintainers would be grateful for code that demonstrates these bugs , so they can fix them.

I'm experimenting with an Erlang inets httpd server. If you install Erlang, I can give you the code to start a server.

What version of erlang inets ? Surely even erlang inets httpd server have version numbers :)

When I create a cgi object after reading from STDIN, my curl request to my Erlang server for the cgi script hangs, then times out (but it does succeed on my apache server):

I'm fairly certain thats the version that tries to read from STDIN. So I would suggest checking CGI.pm docs for ->new and use the version of the call that doesn't try to read from STDIN

Sorry about that. I checked my code and it's spelled correctly in my code.

It's actually in the curl output I posted:

* upload completely sent off: 16 out of 16 bytes
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Date: Fri, 09 Mar 2018 14:52:03 GMT
< Server: inets/6.4.5

I'm using erlang 20.2, so I assume inets 6.4.5 is the most recent version. Thanks for taking a look.

Yep, my$q->CGI-new('') allows me to use the CGI functions after I manually read from STDIN.
