Internal Error
I have a cgi (Perl) script to generate HTML output. The output is as below
<html><head><title>Sysmon Database</title>
</head><body><form method="post" action="/testapi.cgi" >
<select name="apps">
<option value="Landscape">Landscape</option>
<option value="Phhorce">Phhorce</option>
</select>
<input type="hidden" name="rm" value="mode2" /><input type="submit"
name=".submit" />
</form></body></html>
When I call this script from my web url, I get the error as below. Does
anyone have an idea as what could be the reason??

This simply means that, as far as CGI is concerned, your script didn't
work. Check out
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/cgi.html#writingacgiprogram for
details...
The main things to watch are:
- you must output a CGI header before all else,
- the program must run successfully as apache User
- the program must actually work!
You may like to look also at the ScriptLog directive - useful for
capturing STDERR from CGI scripts...
rgds,

XML is processed in the server before transmission - so the client still
sees only HTML and the mime-type is still "text/html".

Most likely you're forgetting the Content-type declaration. Before
outputting any HTML code from a script, you're going to need to print
something like "Content-type: text/html\n\n". So in Perl it would be
something like:
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html><head>...
...
Although it looks like you might be trying to use XML. Frankly I don't know
the declaration for that. Anyone? Beuler? Beuler?
