Re: [MacPerl-WebCGI] A little off-topic Mac/Windoze query

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your help. The connection is now working, though I still have
a few bugs to iron out:

If using Quid Pro Quo as the server, I get a 'file not found' message back
from the server each time I try to request a file, and the server log shows
the following message:

03/03/100    23:39:46    ERR!    10.0.0.11    http://10.0.0.10/index.html
195        Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt)    GET
3        10.0.0.10    404    Configuration

where 10.0.0.10 is my Mac and server, and 10.0.0.11 is the PC. Do you have
any idea what the problem is here? I assume IE on the PC is making the
request in a format that Quid Pro Quo is not configured to respond to.

The alternative: If I use Personal Web Sharing as the server, it works fine,
with the exception that I cannot work out how to get PWS to include the
SSI's which inhabit almost every page on my site. Does anyone know how to
configure PWS to recognise SSI's?

Once again, any help would be much appreciated, so I can get back to
actually writing CGI's instead of tinkering with Windoze. =)

Many thanks,

Richard
