Hi,

I have installed AS TCL 8.4.7. on Windows 2003 Server and now I am trying to
get .cgi and .tcl scripts to work.

Installation passed successfuly but when I try to start CGI script, it
hangs, nothing happens, browser waits for the page to load.

After a while I get:

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of
HTTP headers

What to do now? Thanks!

m.

Does anyone know how can I add support for CGI execution on ANY web server,
specially for IIS6?

Thanks!

It veries based on the web server.

For TclHttpd the documentation come with it, just start the server and
point a browser at the port you started it on. The main page will link to
documentation on how to specify your CGI scripts.

Another poster posted a link for you to look at.

A bit of advice: stay away from IIS if at all posible. It seems the least
secure of the lot and the hardest to work with. I'd personally stick to
TclHttpd (btw, if you do go with TclHttpd you may want to look at using
..tml files and avoiding CGI entirely).
