Hello,
I was messing around with ssi to see how it would work to pass values to a cgi script. I got the cgi script to execute and pass its output to the browser on the shtml page, but if I try to pass values in the cgi property (ie. cgi="my.cgi?this=this") I get an error processing this directive. Is it not possible to pass values to a cgi using ssi?

Ken,

To my knowledge it's not possible to send parameters through to your CGI script via SSI. Sure would be nice at times though. Smiling
