What
This is a dead stupid, insecure and simple system that will update the floating text above a prim according to what is entered in the web form. Uses html forms, python and LSL. This is about as simple as it gets, I think.
index.html
A simple webform that sends the input to our cgi.
<html>
<body>
<div align="center">
<br><br><br>
<form ACTION="cgi-bin/post.cgi" METHOD="GET">
<textarea name="Message" rows="5" cols="40" onfocus="this.value=''; this.onfocus=null;">Enter your status update here.</textarea>
<P>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" title="FOO">
</form>
</div>
<body>
</html>
post.cgi
A simple CGI that takes GETs and looks for two parameters:
- URL: if found will write the value to a file
- Message: if found will read from the file and send the contents to the url in the file
Bugs:
- Entering no text in the form will cause the cgi to error.
Errata:
- This is probably really insecure.
- You need to create the file 'my_url' (or whatever you set file_name as) in your cgi-bin directory.
- That file needs to be readable and writable by your cgi. Depending on your setup something like this might work:
- touch my_url
- chmod 600 my_url
- You may need to be more permissive depending on your server configuration, but this worked on my shared hosting system.
#!/usr/bin/python
import cgi, urllib2, urllib
import cgitb
cgitb.enable()
# This file needs to be readable and writable from this cgi
file_name = "my_url"
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
# If we have Message then this is a status update.
if "Message" in form:
# Redirect back to the form
print "Status: 302 Moved"
print "Location: http://www.myurl.com/path/to/form"
print
# Read in the url from the file
f = open(file_name,'r')
base_url = f.read()
# Build the complete url with query args.
message = form["Message"].value
args = "?Message=%s" % urllib.quote(message)
# Make the request, giving the status to the script.
response = urllib2.urlopen(base_url + args)
# If we have URL then this is an URL update
if "URL" in form:
# Write the url to the file, overwriting the existing file.
f = open(file_name,'w')
f.write(form["URL"].value)
# Let the caller know it worked.
print "Content-Type: text/html"
print
print "OK"
status.lsl
// Set this to whatever text you want above your status
string header = "My Status:\n";
// This is the url to the post.cgi from above

// Might be good to have this email.
llSay(0, "Something went wrong, no url. " + body);
}
else if (method == "GET")
{
// Process a status update by parsing the query string
string t = llGetHTTPHeader(id,"x-query-string");
list l = llParseString2List(t,["?","=","&"],[]);
// We want the value after Message
integer i = llListFindList(l,["Message"]) + 1;
// If there was no Message argument then i = (-1) + 1 => 0.
// As long as i > 0 we found Message so put up whatever came next as the status.
if (i > 0)
{
llSetText(header + llUnescapeURL(llList2String(l,i)),<1,1,0>,1);
llHTTPResponse(id,200,"OK");
}

llHTTPResponse(id,400,"Must Specify a message!");
