Hi

I am having a CPP program which calls the Perl script http://mywebsite.com/upload.pl. This CPP program passes a few POST variables (userfile, accemailid and comment). But, I am not getting ANY post vairable in the upload.pl! Here is the code snippet of the upload.pl:

my $query=new CGI;
my $emailid = $query->param('accemailid');
print TMP time; # Just to check whether the file gets executed
print TMP $emailid; # TMP is a file handler of a temp file
[download]

The above program gets executed(time gets printed), but I am not getting any value in the variable $emailid! Instead of through CPP program, if I try the URL of the CGI script through a HTML form submit, it works precisely (both GET as well as POST).

I wrote a PHP script which almost does the above. Here is the code:

        $emailid =  $_POST['accemailid'];
        $logfile =  "/tmp/in/log.txt";
        $fh = fopen($logfile, 'a') or die("can't open file");
        fwrite($fh, $emailid);
        fclose($fh);
[download]

It works precisely through CPP program!!!!

Here is the CPP code snippet:

    _LIT8(KPostUri, "http://mywebsite.com/upload.pl");

    _LIT8(KDataStart,"--AaB03x");
    _LIT8(KCrlf,"\r\n");
    _LIT8(KContent,"Content-Disposition: form-data; name='userfile'; f
+ilename='");
    _LIT8(KFileCompletion,"'");
        
    _LIT8(KContentEmail,"Content-Disposition: form-data; name='accemai
+lid'");
    _LIT8(KContentComment,"Content-Disposition: form-data; name='comme
+nt'");

Any idea why the perl script is not getting the variables? Kindly help.

Thanks
