Re: [MacPerl-WebCGI] Document contained no data

[Detlef Lindenthal <detlef@lindenthal.com>]

Hi Wolf,

instead of  "QPQ" (which I was not able to install successfully)
for learning and testing I use "MacHTTP", which is small and
uncomplicated. And it is sufficcient as long as you limit your
requests to not more than 25 per second or so  ;-)  .
It is the little brother of WebStar, but it is no longer supported by
WebStar.
You find it somewhere in the depths of the net by means of
Lycos or Excite.

After installation, in case of unsufficient results you can phone me:
04846-6166, in English, Russian, German or Nethergerman.
