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.

index.html

A simple webform that sends the input to our cgi. <html4strict><html> 

  <body>

        



        <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>

<INPUT TYPE="submit" title="FOO"> </form> 

  <body>

</html></html4strict>

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.

<python>

  1. !/usr/bin/python

import cgi, urllib2, urllib import cgitb cgitb.enable()

file_name = "my_url"

form = cgi.FieldStorage() if (form.has_key("Message")): 

       print "Status: 302 Moved"
       print "Location: http://www.myurl.com/path/to/form"
       print

       f = open(file_name,'r')
       base_url = f.read()
       message = form["Message"].value
       args = "?Message=%s" % urllib.quote(message)
       response = urllib2.urlopen(base_url + args)

if (form.has_key("URL")): 

       print form["URL"].value
       f = open(file_name,'w')
       f.write(form["URL"].value)
       print "Content-Type: text/html"
       print
       print "OK"

</python>

status.lsl

<lsl> string header = "My Status:\n"; string updater_url = "http://mywebsite.com/cgi-bin/post.cgi"; string url; integer CHANGED_URL = 1792;

setup() { 

   llSetObjectName("HTTP Server: Status Updates");
   llRequestURL();

}

debug(key id, string method, string body) { 

   llOwnerSay(method + ": " + body);
   list headers = ["x-script-url","x-path-info","x-query-string","x-remote-ip","user-agent"];
   integer i;
   for (i=0;i<5;++i)
   {
       llOwnerSay(llList2String(headers,i) + ": " + llGetHTTPHeader(id,llList2String(headers,i)));
   }

}

default { 

   state_entry() { setup(); }
   on_rez(integer n) { setup(); }
   changed(integer c) { if (c & (CHANGED_URL) ) setup(); }

   http_request(key id, string method, string body)
   {
       // debug(id, method, body);
       
       if (method == URL_REQUEST_GRANTED)
       {
           llHTTPRequest(updater_url + "?URL=" + body + "/",[],"");
       }
       else if (method == URL_REQUEST_DENIED)
       {
           llSay(0, "Something went wrong, no url. " + body);
       }
       else if (method == "GET")
       {
           string t = llGetHTTPHeader(id,"x-query-string");
           list l = llParseString2List(t,["?","=","&"],[]);
           integer i = llListFindList(l,["Message"]) + 1;

           if (i > 0)
           {
               llSetText(header + llUnescapeURL(llList2String(l,i)),<1,1,0>,1);
               llHTTPResponse(id,200,"OK");
           }
           else
           {
               llHTTPResponse(id,400,"Must Specify a message!");
           }
       }
       else
       {
           llHTTPResponse(id,405,"Method unsupported");
       }
   }

} </lsl>
