Problem solved by pathcing the href in the outgoing response. Mike.
It was either that, or come up with some complex mod_rewrite answer so your users wouldn't see the cgi url but rather the url of some page. I figured just tweaking the links (as long as you knew their style to be consistent) was easiest, even if it's not the "correct" answer.

Berger wrote: Try putting the cgi in the same directory as the html file and turning on execCGI in that directory? That's the easy answer. I suppose there's something harder involving mod_rewrite. But since you're parsing the html anyway, you could rewrite them on the fly, too. Your call.I wrote a CGI that opens an html file, reads it and sends it out (with some modification). Now these files contain relative links of the form: <a href="someFile.html">something</a> Now when the client clicks on "something", only the relative paths appear to the CGI, and I cannot open the file. What should I do? 1. I could carry the last path in a cookie and construct the full path. But this would only work for nodes that accept cookies. 2. I could change all the paths to absolute. Much much work. Any better suggestions? Thanks in advance. Mike. -- Michael D.
