Is this possible - I imagine so but cannot at the moment fathom out how
to do it!
Entering into the URL field in a browser the name of a cgi program like
this:
http://myserver/cgi-bin/prog
No problem
When prog has arguments, send them like this:
http://myserver/cgi-bin/prog?arg1=X&arg2=Y
Now prog needs an argument which is itself a URL so:
http://myserver/cgi-bin/prog?arg1=X&arg2=Y&arg_url=prog2?arg1=17&arg2=
299 ... etc.
How can I embed the URL which is the value to be sent into arg_url?
This worked (to my surprise):
http://myserver/cgi-bin/prog?arg1=X&arg2=Y&arg_url=prog2?arg1=17
but as soon as I tried to add more &arg2= ten the browser errored
I experimented with replacing the & for %38% and the = with %61% but
seem unable to successed - am I using the incorrect approach?
Appreciate any help you guys can give!
BTW the reason is that I want prog to be a generic program which
generates a frameset with one window containing the conetents of
whatever URL it is passed - building generic code.
cheers

You have to URL-encode the "&" and "?". Actually, the "&" is what throws
it off. Simply replace "&" with "%26" and "?" with "%3F" before you
construct the CGI query.

Thanks very much Dmitiri, this is just what I was looking for.

Actually still having some trouble with this - do I also need to url-
encode the = characters as well?
