OT: Converting a ASP request to CGI?

[Alessandro Forghieri <al...@orion.it>]

Greetings.
I realize this is an Off-Topic with serious flamage potential, so I'll keep
it very short.
Is anybody aware of any module capable of doing for the ASP environment what
Apache::Registry does for mod_perl? (i.e. making an asp request look and
feel as if it were an old plain  cgi-bin)

Cheers,
alf

If, you are talking about perl scripting ASP, then you can 
run that under Apache::ASP, check out http://www.apache-asp.org

If you are talking about VBScript ASP, check out Chilisoft or 
Halcyon's Instant ASP. 

If you are talking about CGI scripts under Apache::ASP, just
wrap them with <% %> and they should work.

If something else, please clarify what you mean.

Write an ASP page which then calls a CGI script.

In file blah.asp:

Dim param1, param2
param1 = Request.QueryString("param1")
param2 = Request.QueryString("param2")

Response.Redirect "somewhere.cgi?param1=" & param1 & "&param2=" & param2

... and so on is one way to do it, if I understand what you are asking for.
