Here's what I do :-)

Win2k.
Apache 2.
PERL.

I have a PERL "xap-script" in cgi-bin that takes a parameter. The
parameter is the name of the pre-defined xap mesasge I want to send.

The PERL script does the following:

- Outputs a standard HTML header, including a meta refresh directive
pointing at a more useful page :-)
- Execs "xap-send <name of file that was the passed
argument>"

If you remind me, I'll post the full (not long) PERL script here.

Web servers aren't high on my personal "things to automate with
xAP"
list, but it turned out to be so easy that it just happened one
evening :-)

Regards,

Mark
