Re: [Xsltforms-support] question about conversion from ubiquity

[Chris H. <ch...@el...>]

Hello,

I have run into another issue:

I am using a CGI perl script and a submission button which calls the script.
The script gets some data from the POSTDATA and does some actions.

My forms using xsltforms library are not sending any POST data.
The script is being called, but no data.

I tried also with one of the sample forms, substituting in my own perl 
CGI as the action,
still no POST data showing up.

Can you give me some pointers as to where I should be looking?
Is this an issue with the web server config?  I am not seeing any errors 
in the
log files, just no POST data coming through.

Thanks

Chris Howard
