Hello from Belgium
Thank you all for your replies (to the list and to me personally).
I will definitely try power basic from powerbasic.com (the console version)
since i don't need an interface when sending html output to another
computer. _visual_ basic is too much for me.
I will define my problem more specifically:
The company i work for has an internet printer (Remote Internet Printing).
It reads it's mail via pop-3 like an ordinary mail client and prints it
out. It works perfectly for text documents.
The printer can also print postscript files, but it can't handle mime. A
postcript file attached to a message is mime-encoded, but the printer can't
decode it (and there is no upgrade). Printing postcript to the LAN printer
is OK (windows file and printer sharing).
So i want to get the postcript file from the remote user using http
Once the file is on the server computer i can do anything to adapt the
message to the printer standards and send it without mime to the printer
mailbox.
I tried following html to send a sample file
<html><body>
<form ACTION="/cgi-bin/env.exe" method="POST">
<input type=file name="123.txt"><br>
<input type=submit value="Send">
</form>
</body></html>
env.exe simply sends the environment and other input files back to the browser.
What i get on the server is the name of the file, but not the content itself!
Is there something wrong with the html (i don't think so)?
That's what the back-end program receives from Xitami (the environment).

It's actually the same as the QUERY_STRING
Where can i find the file that (probably?) was send by the browser?
I don't know if the problem is html-related (wrong coding of html),
xitami-related (some incorrect configuration) or visual basic related
(can't get all the data from xitami)
Thank you very much !
Marc
