RE: [cgiwrap-users] Need help with Strange Behavior

[Nathan N. <nn...@um...>]

No, that should not happen. CGIwrap only looks at the script iself, it
doesn't care in the least about any parameters/data passed to the
script.

Best place to look is the source itself. 

If Cgiwrap is the one responsible for not executing the script, you will
get an error message from cgiwrap. Anything else, it's because of the
script, or other settings on the web server.
