I've got a CGI program I wrote in "C". It's not very good,
but it works for our purposes. Anyway, when we run it
as a stand-alone compiled application it runs just fine and
produces the desired results (mail gets transported over to
where it's supposed to go, with the correct info in it).
However, when we slap this program into the Action field of
a webpage (see http://paradigm.uor.edu/socal-raves/crank.html )
and run it that way, no mail ever gets sent, yet the program
runs normally (kicking up the desired response page).
The source code is attached, though I don't know if that's
where the problem is...
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!
