Quote:Heh ! I modified your server a while ago to admit QBasic CGIs 
When it was asked to serve a .BAS file, it ran Qbasic with the BAS file, redirected everything to OUT.HTML and served that file. In QB you just had to output the HTML code using PRINT, for example, a counter:
Code:
PRINT "<html><head><title>QBasic generated page</title></head>"
PRINT "<body>"
OPEN "COUNTER.DAT" FOR BINARY AS #1
GET #1,,counter&
CLOSE #1
counter& = counter& + 1
OPEN "COUNTER.DAT" FOR BINARY AS #1
PUT #1,,counter&
CLOSE #1
PRINT "<b>This page has been visited "; counter&; " times.</b>"
PRINT "</body></html>"
It was slow, insecure and problematic, but it worked.
It was so cool 
That is
SUCH a cool idea!!!!!!!!!!! Im impressed!!!! =D A hypertext preproccesser written in QB. Who woulda thought...

Yeah, I've tinkered with QB CGI.
Very, very, very slow. Very slow.
And a pain in the arse with get/post params.

Freebasic is like QB, except it doesn't suck.

It can't be all THAT slow unless you are a REALLY sucky programmer...
I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.

Zack there you go again. Low self confidence =(.
Diroga, I personally prefer using HTML since I dont use much dynamic webpages. You could use PHP to do cool stuff on you webpages though =).
