Hi,

I am having trouble with my virtual web host due to two current problems with my site that their techs can't fix.

I wondered whether anyone knew the answers so I can then point them in the right direction.

1) My ".cgi" programs work when they receive "GET" data along the url but not "POST" form data. My ".pl" programs work fine with both.

2) My ASP pages don't seem to create objects from a third party password protection program and write the data (username/password) to the page.

Any ideas?

Looks like you'll just have to use ".pl" as the extension from now on.

Sounds like a problem with one of the peices of software. Though it could be a bad setup on your hosts side, I highly doubt it.
