Re^2: Processing POST request in simple Windows server.

Appreciate the response.

I looked at CGI.pm and the documentation regarding it. But all the examples I could find using CGI.pm were the case where there was just the need to process one POST/GET request..

In my case I've created a server that needs to process many POST/GET requests. What I am missing is the following loop....

use cgi
while (a request to localhost:6789 server)
{
  process the request with CGI.pm modules
}

here's the code that makes an attempt at this loop....

use IO::Socket;
use Net::hostent;
use CGI;

# Constants
$cnst_port = 6789; # Port we want to listen to
$cnst_server = 'http://localhost:' . $cnst_port . '/';  # Server addre
+ss

$server = IO::Socket::INET->new( Proto => 'tcp', LocalPort => $cnst_po
+rt, Listen => SOMAXCONN, Reuse => 1 );

die "Can\'t set up server" unless $server;

print STDERR "Server Version 0.637\n" .
  "Server accepting clients via $cnst_server\n";

while ($client = $server->accept())
{
  $client->autoflush(1);
  
  $cgi = new CGI;

  $request_path_translated = $cgi->path_translated();
  $request_query_string = $cgi->query_string();
  $request_request_method = $cgi->request_method();

  print STDERR "request_path_translated = $request_path_translated\n";
  print STDERR "request_query_string = $request_query_string\n";
  print STDERR "request_request_method = $request_request_method\n";

  RETURN_DUMMY_PAGE ();
    
  close($client);
}


sub RETURN_DUMMY_PAGE
{
  print $client
    'HTTP/1.0 200 OK' . "\n" .
    'Content-type: text/html' . "\n\n" .
    '<HTML>' . "\n" .
    ' <HEAD><TITLE>Asayo - LED Sign Software XL</TITLE></HEAD>' . "\n"
+ .
    ' <BODY><H1>Dummy Page</H1></BODY>' . "\n" .
    '</HTML>' . "\n";
}

The dummy page gets returned each time, but the CGI calls return nothing..

Any ideas?
