using embpcgi.pl & reading images from database

[Maurice McCabe <mm...@orbsoft.com>]

The following code works when called using mod_perl. It does not work when
calling via embpcgi.pl. Does anyone have a suggestion why?

[-
	use DBI;
	use ZIPLoc;
	$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:locator", "root", "") || die "Can't connect:
$_";
	($couponImage, $mimeType) = ZIPLoc::getCouponImage($dbh,
$fdat{'couponid'});
	$req_rec->content_type('$mimeType');
	# Sending the right header
      $escmode = 0;
	# No HTML escaping
      print OUT $couponImage;
-]

Is there another way to read an image from a database that is compatable
with embpcgi.pl?

Thanks,

Maurice

Assome that your problem is there.  Is there a request record without Apache?
Try using $http_headers_out{CONTENT-TYPE} instead.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
