I use Apache2 and Perl, and the code I have is in a routine called
xap.cgi which takes the name of a pre-canned xap file as the argument:
------------------------------------------
print "Cotent-type: text/plan\n\n";
print "<HEAD>";
$xapcall="xap-send.exe ".$ENV("QUERY_STRING")
print "<META-EQUIV=\"Refresh\"
Content=\"0;URL=\\lounge.html/">";
system $xapcall > null;
print "\n<\HEAD>";
------------------------------------------
Apart from the obvious "different context" issues, there is the
difference that I ended up putting xap-send in the path rather than
trying to reference it by location.
In debugging, ISTR that I had to work out whether it was a PERL issue or
a xAP issue, and that the way I did that was putting replacing
"xap-send.exe" with a call to "notepad.exe" and watch
for whether
notepad appeared on the server console :-)
