Forbidden Message, when accessing .pl files from Java Webserver

[Murari]

Hi Experts,

This is the form I am using:

<form name="getsomething" method="GET"
action="http://myip:8080/cgi-bin/do.pl" TARGET="">

<INPUT type="button" name="SUBMIT" value="CLICK ME"
onClick="doStuff();"
<INPUT type="hidden" name="someinfo" value="test">


</form>

When I run it I get : 403 Forbidden

When I change action="http://myip/somedir/cgi-bin/do.pl" then page
cannot be dispalyed.

I am really tired of this. Please help me to resolve the issue.

</form>

I can't help it but hat doesn't look like Perl code to me....

When I run it I get : 403 Forbidden
When I change action="http://myip/somedir/cgi-bin/do.pl" then page

You may want to ask in NG that actually deals with CGI or JavaScript or
DHTML or whatever the code above is.

Hi Experts,

<INPUT type="hidden" name="someinfo" value="test">

1) Check that the script is executable

and 2) you should probably ask this in the webserver ng.

1. Confirm that you can run perl cgi on your server - out
of the box perl cgis are often disabled.

Then try

2. changing GET to POST
3. changing type="button" name="SUBMIT" to type=submit value="Click Me"

PS. If you're tired of it. Do something else. No one cares if you tired
or not.
