Re: [Savant-cgi-help] Michael :- Feature request :-

[Gordon S. <Gor...@ir...>]

Ive done a quick test of my system :-

& have added these to my cgi script - i'll add them at home later - =
They'll do for me.  :-

if ($ENV{SERVER_SOFTWARE} =3D~ !/^savant/ig){
 flock(INF,2);
}

Basically seeing if its a "savant" - & ignoring the flock..

I'll test it further - at home..

However - Would it be better, to test for  the HTTP_USER_AGENT ?:-

HTTP_USER_AGENT 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows 95; IR-v1.0.0)=
'

- & ignoring all 'Windows' ?

But i guess theres a 'windows' that works on Linux / Unix systems ?

any further ideas ? - To develop 1 system, to work for all users...=20

just a thought.. - I guess i'm the only one using Savant to 'test' on at =
home, & comes accross this situation ?

Unfortunately, this isn't a Savant implementation issue so there isn't
much I can do about it.  The Perl interpreter itself handles these flock
requests - Savant just calls the interpreter and hands back either the
output from the script or an error message.

The UNIX implementations of Perl support flock (mainly because flock() is
a native UNIX system call).  The version of Perl that ships with Savant is
a couple versions older than the most recent - if you haven't already, you
might consider going to activestate.com and downloading/installing a newer
version.

I honestly doubt that any version of Perl on Win32 supports flock, but
I've been known to be wrong before about this sort of thing.
