Re[3]: [Nms-cgi-devel] Re: textcounter.pl bugs?!!

[Suresh S. <sur...@ya...>]

I believe my mails are being posted on the developer mailing
list, so  instead of replying to Jonathan & Grant separately
I'll  just  club the replies together in a single mail. Hope
you guys don't mind. :)

    Well  Jonathan, I tried running the script straight from
    the  cgi-bin, instead of calling from the SSI, nope, the
    DOCUMENT_URI  still  doesn't show up. It may be a bug in
    Xitami  or  maybe  they  decided  not  to  implement it.
    However,  the  SCRIPT_NAME  variable  does  contain  the
    desired  value  so  I guess your assumption was correct.
    I  agree  you  guys have  Xitami pretty much covered but
    there are still quite a few other servers with their own
    little  idiosyncrasies.  :).  Plan  to  test some of the
    scripts  out  with  Savant as well.  Would  you like the
    output from that as well?!! :)

    Nope,  Grant,  Xitami still simply outputs the header, I
    guess the SSI implementation in Xitami is a bit weird.
