Running cgi script placed on one machine by a web server installed on anoth

Question

I have weblogic installed on machine 1 and
CGI Script placed on another machine 2.
Is it possible for Weblogic to service/run CGI Script placed on machine 2. If so how can we do it.

I don't know about Weblogic, but here is some code that POSTs to a CGI script (XXX.pl) with a few parameters and retrieves part of the result (and HTML table) in a large string.
Maybe you could use this kind of thing:
protected String getTable(String hostID, Interval interval) throws IOException{
StringBuffer query=new StringBuffer(100);
Socket s = new Socket("some.host.com",80);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader
(new InputStreamReader(s.getInputStream()));
PrintWriter out= new PrintWriter(s.getOutputStream());
Calendar c=Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTime(interval.getStart());
query.append("s%5fm="+MonthConverter.int2mmm(c.get(Calendar.MONTH)));
query.append("&s%5fd="+c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
query.append("&byear="+c.get(Calendar.YEAR));
query.append("&Report=Submit");
out.print("POST /cgi-bin/XXX.pl?site="+hostID+" HTTP/1.0\n");
out.print("Accept: text/html\n");
out.print("User-Agent: yourapplicationname\n");
out.print("From: myemail@myhost\n");
out.print("Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");
out.print("Content-length: "+query.length()+"\n\n");
out.print(query.toString());
out.flush();
String line;
boolean finished=false;
boolean started=false;
StringBuffer resultBuffer=new StringBuffer(1000);
while ((line = in.readLine()) !=null
&& !finished) {
if (line.indexOf("Tmin,Tmax and Precipitation amount")>-1)
started=true;
if (started)
resultBuffer.append(line);
if (line.indexOf("</HTML>")>0)
finished=true;
out.close();
in.close();
return resultBuffer.toString();
