apache and a program	apache newbie, 050730 04:48
what i'm trying to do is create an application that will be able to output the source of a file (ie: .pl, .cgi, .php, etc...) with keyword highlighting and such. thats the easy part, the hard part is making apache communicate with the application. so far i have this in the apache httpd.conf: ScriptAlias /WebServer/src/ "/WebServer/src/" AddType application/x-httpd-src .src Action application/x-http-src "/WebServer/src/src.exe" and i tried this in c++: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { cout << "argc == " << argc << ":" << endl; for(int ct=0; ct<argc; ct++) { cout << " " << argv[ct] << endl; } return 0; } and i even tried it in java: public class Class1 { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("args.length == " + args.length); for(int ct=0; ct<args.length; ct++) { System.out.println(" " + args[ct]); } } } all i need is apache to be able to communicate with a program. and the errors i get in the apache error log is: "Premature end of script headers: src.exe". i know apache knows where the program is, i just dont understand apache too much to know what its trying to do the way i configured it. please help. all i have is a c/c++ compiler and a java compiler. so thats the only two languages i can work in.

apache and a program

apache newbie, 050730 04:48

what i'm trying to do is create an application that will be able to output the source of a file (ie: .pl, .cgi, .php, etc...) with keyword highlighting and such. thats the easy part, the hard part is making apache communicate with the application.

so far i have this in the apache httpd.conf:



ScriptAlias /WebServer/src/ "/WebServer/src/"

AddType application/x-httpd-src .src

Action application/x-http-src "/WebServer/src/src.exe"

and i tried this in c++:



#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{

    cout << "argc == " << argc << ":" << endl;

    for(int ct=0; ct<argc; ct++)

    {

        cout << "     " << argv[ct] << endl;

    }

    return 0;

}

and i even tried it in java:



public class Class1

{

    public static void main(String[] args)

    {

        System.out.println("args.length == " + args.length);

        for(int ct=0; ct<args.length; ct++)

        {

            System.out.println("     " + args[ct]);

        }

    }

}

all i need is apache to be able to communicate with a program. and the errors i get in the apache error log is: "Premature end of script headers: src.exe". i know apache knows where the program is, i just dont understand apache too much to know what its trying to do the way i configured it. please help. all i have is a c/c++ compiler and a java compiler. so thats the only two languages i can work in.

Your program needs to output HTTP headers. Print at least the content type: cout << "Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8" << endl; I'm not sure if it also needs to print the status line ("HTTP/1.0 200 OK") or not, and if so, if the header "Status: 200" will also do. All of this is covered in the CGI specification. Read up on that and all will be well.

Have you tried associating the file extension with apache?
