There is a CGIHTTPServer running on my machine. I wrote 2 python scripts, one will take the user input data and the other will process it. I tried using both GET and POST method types to post my data in the first script, but I don't know whats happening, the data is never received by the second sript.
I am using my machine for both server and client. For security reasons I am using port 8090 and not the default port for http. when I submit my data with GET option I can see it at the end of URL, but even then my second script does not read what I am sending. I am just creating an instance of field storage and then calling the methods on it and printing the fieldNameList. But the list is always empty.
----------------------------- fm =cgi.FieldStorage() fieldNameList = fm.keys() ---------------------------- I have tried the basic examples straight from the book, but even then it always shows empty list.
I am wondering if there is some problem with python library which is running my web server.
To make sure my data is being sent properly I wrote a small server program and was running it on the same machine from DOS prompt. When I tried to run my first script to talk to this new server, it did display what I am sending. I am unable to figure out what is the problem with CGIHTTPServer or the RequestHandler. I am just 2 weeks old in python and WebServer stuff.
Someone let me know if I am doing some basic mistake.
