Flex login issues with http service

Question

I need help.
I have a process that i have written to login. It runs C code
and verifies login and password on a unix server.
[RPC Fault faultString="HTTP request error"
faultCode="Server.Error.Request" faultDetail="Error: [IOErrorEvent

ult10 -> 172.16.1.7 HTTP HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server
Error
172.16.1.7 -> ult10 HTTP C port=52106
my code shows clearly i am calling post.. I am really new to
this stuff and only now am i starting to get a feel, so please make
any info in as simple terms as you can..
returned code will look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
- <login>
<login_msg>Please Wait</login_msg> <<
simple message while data updates.
<login_valid>1</login_valid> << if the
login was good or not...
<login_data>153512</login_data> << this is
a file name reference for holding data.. needs to be public.
</login>

Answer 1

i have..
I will keep trying this stuff isn't cheap :)
I have tried about everything.. and can come up with zero..
This is why i have basically posted everything... even the
url of the data is shown...
What i really don't understand is why.. no matter what you do
the request_method always shows GET..
This is the current C source code...
It will just print out the env that the apache server is
getting..
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
printf("Content-type: text/plain\n\n");
char **envp;
/* print key=value pairs */
while (*envp != NULL) {
printf("%s\n", *envp++);
To view the data.. make a httpservice and set your debug to
stop once it catches the data...
Right now i have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</mx:Form>
</mx:Panel>

</mx:ViewStack>
</mx:Application>
my breakpoint is set to line 13 of this code...
at the end of this function:
private function handleLogin(event:ResultEvent):void {
I use the debugger to look at the results...
when you run this.. aginst that C code.. the debugger will
show the environment of what has been called:
GATEWAY_INTERFACE=CGI/1.1
SERVER_PROTOCOL=HTTP/1.1
REQUEST_METHOD=GET
QUERY_STRING=
REQUEST_URI=/flex/cgi-bin/login.cgi
SCRIPT_NAME=/flex/cgi-bin/login.cgi
Notice the REQUEST_METOD is get...
If it is a get method the QUERY string should have some data
in it...
If you go to
http://genesis.dvrdns.org/flex/index.html
and type some junk on that screen you see different output...
GATEWAY_INTERFACE=CGI/1.1
SERVER_PROTOCOL=HTTP/1.1
REQUEST_METHOD=GET
QUERY_STRING=login=dfgsdgf&password=sdfgd&domain=asdf
REQUEST_URI=/flex/cgi-bin/login.cgi?login=dfgsdgf&password=sdfgd&domain=asdf
SCRIPT_NAME=/flex/cgi-bin/login.cgi
notice the query string.. and the REQUEST_METHOD
now if i change the HTML
to POST my "C" source code has to read from standard input...
and my Method should change to post...
but in this case.. since i am just printing the env values..
the POST in my html will have CGI print..
MET=post and QUERY_STRING will be empty..
Exmaple:
Here going to change
<form action="cgi-bin/login.cgi" method="GET">
Login: <input type="login" name="login"
size="10"><br>
Password: <input type="password" name="password"
size="10"><br>
GET to POST
<form action="cgi-bin/login.cgi" method="POST">
Login: <input type="login" name="login"
size="10"><br>
Password: <input type="password" name="password"
size="10"><br>
"index.html" 51 lines, 2700 characters
I am going to run the SAME app in debugger and via the html..
the html code will display the method as post and
query_string as empty which means data should come from standard
input..
html is as i expect:
SERVER_PROTOCOL=HTTP/1.1
REQUEST_METHOD=POST
QUERY_STRING=
REQUEST_URI=/flex/cgi-bin/login.cgi
SCRIPT_NAME=/flex/cgi-bin/login.cgi
Now going to set up debugger to run.. The REQUEST_METOD
should show POST and query string should be zero
REQUEST_METHOD=GET
QUERY_STRING=
REQUEST_URI=/flex/cgi-bin/login.cgi
SCRIPT_NAME=/flex/cgi-bin/login.cgi
as you see the METHOD from the debugger has not CHANGED
my network sniffer even shows my computer sending a request
of GET and not POST.. which is fine.. i can work with get...
but just the same.. the software isn't posting the data
correctly... if at all...
In my origional source code i use the get method in several
ways.....
printf(" <a
href="url://cgi.script?value&value&value">linkdata</a>
", value, value, value);
the cgi.script has to be a GET method for it to work in this
way..
but it isn't working.. the url request sent by this software
isn't sending it right for some reason...
I am really stuck until that works..
