<form method="post" Action="http://192.168.0.20/cgi-bin/test.cgi">

<input type="submit" value="ok">

</form>

my cgi file:# include <stdio.h>

void main(void)

{

printf("content-type: text/html\n");

printf("\n");

    Here&#39;s how I implemented your functionality... 

    
<html>
<head>
    <title>CGI script test</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form method="get" action="cgi-bin/test.cgi">
    <input type="submit" value="ok">
</form>

    ##  cgi-bin/test.cgi# 
# ! /bin/sh
echo "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
echo
echo "The cgi script is working\n"

    I didn&#39;t use an actual executable so my solution is definitely slower since it&#39;s done via scripting but it does work. I also used the "get" method instead of the "post" method for the form. I&#39;m not sure if the "post" method is properly implemented in boa for our distribution.

    Hope this helps.
