Bob,

Can you elaborate on what CGILIB is?  I though earlier you were simply
referring to a library name on your iSeries but now it sounds like
you've created a tool similar to CGIDEV2.  If true, can you compare and
contrast the 2?

Finally, any additional thoughts on my problem?  My previous HTML didn't
have a content type section.  I don't know how that would effect the web
server itself as opposed to the browser.  For example does the web
server itself read the HTML then do something different/special when it
sees a content type directive?

Yes, that's why I wrote CGILIB with the xTools. It doesn't have the
scaling
limitations that CGIDEV2 had. As long as you stay under 16MB of HTML
being
sent at once, there are no practical limitations. I do limit the section
names to either 32 or 64 characters (can't remember which it is at the
moment), but you can have as many of them as you want.
I would like to hear more about your "conditional sections" including
what
you use them for, and how you use them. Perhaps offline would be better
if
others aren't interested.
As to your 1993... that's perfect. In my CGI RPG classes, I have a line
that
I often use:  "Many long-time HTML coders, and by long-time, I mean
someone
who started using HTML before 1997... seem to prefer Windows Notepad as
their HTML editor of choice."  That line usually gets a good laugh, but
as
you have indicated... there's some truth to it.

Well, I suppose I could be considered experienced. I think I wrote my
first web page in 1993. Though I suppose it might be sort of weird that
I have never put together my own personal website.

I wouldn't say that there is anything "wrong" with using the
noname/*top sections. The reason that I wouldn't use them is that I like
the consistency of having every section named. Granted in this case
there would only be one unnamed section, but I still prefer to avoid
using a mix of implied and defined section names. I'm also not sure that
it would work with my version of CGIDEV. We kept running into problems
with not enough sections or variables being available, so I rewrote it
using dynamically allocated arrays to store  up to 32K sections and
variables, and I don't think I made provisions for the "noname" section.
I also added several capabilities that weren't available at the time,
this was several years ago, such as loading from the IFS, being able to
load several templates at once, and "conditional" sections which are
like a select statement and allow you to output portions of your section
based on the values of your variables.

Notepad? Oh, you're an "experienced" HTML coder than. :)
But seriously, Dreamweaver and Frontpage don't complain, but rather
reposition or loose that top section. There's nothing wrong with using
the
'noname' or '*TOP' section identifiers.

That's interesting, I hadn't realized that, though I think that I
prefer
using named sections rather than an unnamed one. I've never noticed
any
complaints about the section name at the beginning the HTML from my
editor though. Of course that is probably because I only use notepad
or
an enhanced version of notepad for editing HTML. :)

You don't need to have a "top" section name. Most HTML editors don't
like
having something like 
/$TOP
Or 
/$HTML
On the first line of the HTML.
CGIDEV2 and CGILIB support a virtual top section using 'noname' as the
section name. This virtual section continues until the first real
section is
detected.
So in CGIDEV2 you would code (in your CGI RPG program):
Callp  wrtSection('noname')

With CGILIB, you could code:
Callp cgiWrtSection('noname') 
or
Callp cgiWrtSection('*TOP')

At the beginning of the first template section that you write to the
browser you need to have at least the following. The string
"Content-type: text/html" followed by 2 carriage return linefeeds
(CRLF)s. You may add other header information but it must be followed
by
the 2 CRLFs which tell the http server that this is the end of the
header section. I use a "html" section that only contains the header
information, and is the same for all of my templates. 
 
A sample would be:
 
/$html
Content-type: text/html

/$NextSection

Hmmm. Looks like you're saying I need something like this --> <meta
http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

Which I just confirmed is not coming out of my existing CGI apps using
original server.

Is this what you're talking about?

I am embarrassed to give the answer because I should have looked at
this
first, but make sure your headers are being sent. CGIDEV2 does not
output your headers for you, you must included them in one of your
templates. 

I am guessing that the IBM Original HTTP server was being nice and
must
have sent a default header if a program just starts pushing stuff out
without headers. Apache doesn't do that.

HTH,

Great thread. Has anyone discovered the solution yet?

I too attempted to migrate my original servers to Apache today and I
too
received the file download box when I tried to run a RPG CGI program. 

My apologies for posting the entire config file below but I'm sure
there's something in there causing the error and I'm hoping someone
can
recognize it...

My suggestions . . .

1. Get to the most current CGIDEV2 release level. There has been a
bunch done to CGIDEV2 in the 3 years, and a lot of sites have
converted
to Apache.

2. Download the Easy/400 deliverable EASY400APC - it has the other
CGIDEV2 deliverables running under Apache.

http://www-922.ibm.com/easy400p/downloads.html 

Between those two, you should be running, or in a place where figuring
the problem is easier.

Regards.
