Re: Is it possible to send a call to the CGI program without

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ahh... you'll want to do a web service call with something like our GETURI
software (www.bvstools.com/geturi.html) or Scott Klement's HTTP API.

So, they click, it calls your CGI program.  That CGI program does the HTTP
call in the background using GETURI to call the web services.

The results from that HTTP call using such a tool can be used to create the
web screen you'll display to the user, if it was successful or not.

Let me know if this helps.  Thanks!
