Hi all, first post. I'm in the processing of learning javascript and jQuery. I have a CGI application that I have written and have been using in my business for several years. It's written in a rather obscure CGI language called WebBatch. Why? Well, because it's what I knew at the time I started the project. :)
Anyway, one of the interesting things about that language is the structure of its URLs - it isn't simply the path to a script in a cgi directory, it's a path to the WebBatch executable with the script to execute embedded in the query string after it like so: http://atlas/webcgi/webbatch.exe?ordersys-dev/login.web I mention that as I am having problems with the POST method in Ajax. I can use the GET method just fine and load files and run scripts using GET all day long, but I can't get any results when attempting to use post - the script itself never executes on the server (I have a test script that just writes out to a log file when it runs so that I can see if it is executing). Is there a chance that the unusual structure of the URLs presents an issue with the POST method? I'm grasping at straws here as I've been over everything for hours and can't think out anything else unusual about what I'm trying to do or how I'm trying to do it. Does that sound like it could even remotely be a source of the problem, or do you figure I am completely off base? This is the ajax call as I have it formatted currently: $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "//atlas/webcgi/webbatch.exe?ordersys-dev/login-ajax.web", data: '"username=' + elem.form.username.value + '&password=' + elem.form.password.value + '"', success: function(msg){ alert( "Data Saved: " + msg ); } }); Thanks for any thoughts!
