I just tried something else and All problems appear to be gone. I left in the action=sample2.cgi and I changed the method from post to get. It now works perfectly. Does elinks require get method for CGI scripts? Note that the CGI class for Perl defaults the method to 'post'. -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://holmesgrown.ld.net/ From kon at iki.fi Thu Apr 26 12:04:32 2007 From: kon at iki.fi (Kalle Olavi Niemitalo) Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2007 21:04:32 +0300 Subject: [elinks-users] CGI Scripts In-Reply-To: <20070426163938.GA4082@lnx3.holmesgrown.com> References: <20070424165432.GA5104@lnx3.holmesgrown.com> <20070425175143.GA3229@pldmachine.fixsoftware.pl> <20070426163938.GA4082@lnx3.holmesgrown.com> Message-ID: <87k5vz811r.fsf@Astalo.kon.iki.fi> Steve Holmes writes: > The following script is my original version that still demos the error. Thank you. I get this error: INTERNAL ERROR at /home/Kalle/src/MIRROR/elinks-0.11.1/src/document/html/parser/forms.c:99: assertion !form->action || !strchr(form->action, POST_CHAR) failed!

Yes, I just upgraded to 0.11.3 and the original sample1 script works flawlessly now. thanks for the help. I'll keep the redirection tip in mind if I should it again. Now off to write some local client apps that can use elinks as the user interface. -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://holmesgrown.ld.net/ From yan at seiner.com Fri Apr 27 16:52:51 2007 From: yan at seiner.com (Yan Seiner) Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2007 15:52:51 -0700 Subject: [elinks-users] launching a flash player Message-ID: <46327EC3.6070309@seiner.com> How do I configure elinks to launch my own flash player? The man page says: mime.type Handler <-> MIME type association. The first sub-tree is the MIME class while the second sub-tree is the MIME type (ie. image/gif handler will reside at mime.type.image.gif). Each MIME type option should contain (case-sensitive) name of the MIME handler (its properties are stored at mime.handler.). so this would be mime.type.application.x-shockwave-flash swfplayer?

I seem to be traversing the list OK, but it segfaults at some point and I have no idea why... I haven't found the right way to test for the end of the list. The ptr values seem OK when they print. Here's the code snippet: while (temp_fc->prev != NULL) { temp_fc = temp_fc->prev; syslog(LOG_DEBUG,"Prev element ptr: %p\n",temp_fc); if(strncmp(fc->_P_idindex, temp_fc->_P_idindex,3) == 0) break; // temp_fs = find_form_state(doc_view, temp_fc); syslog(LOG_DEBUG,"Prev element ID: %s value %s\n",temp_fc->_P_idindex,"yyy"); // free(temp_fs); } On another topic, I've commented out the find_form_state and subsequent free. I haven't been able to find a 'free_form_state' type of function. Could someone please clue me in on how to free the structure allocated with find_form_state? Thanks, --Yan
