[ic] can I include another cgi script within [ic]?

[interch]

Hmmm is the cgi script not in perl?  If you really need to actually do a
POST or GET request to a cgi from within a catalog page something like
this would probably work, assuming AllowGlobal was set for the catalog.  I
haven't tested this in IC but I use something similar for cgi POST'S from
the command line for testing various scripts.


[perl]
my($content, $response, $status_code);
$content="var=value&var2=value&etc..."


($response,$status_code) =&http_request('POST','http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi',
$content);

return($response,$status_code);
   
sub http_request {
my ($method, $url, $content) = @_;

use URI::Escape;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request;
use HTTP::Response;
$content = URI::Escape::uri_escape($content);
my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
my $request = new HTTP::Request($method, $url, undef, undef);
$request->header('content-type' => "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
$request->header('content-length' => length($content));
$request->content($content);


my $response = $ua->request($request);

if ($response->is_success) {
    return($response->content,$response->code);
} else {
    return($response->content,$response->code);
    return($response->error_as_HTML,$response->code);
}


}
