What

Kills me not, this is my first try with python xD
  • Uses html forms, python and LSL.
  • Fixed the cgi error bug with empty messages
  • Add status reports for write to file error und success URL update

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

  • 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
#!/usr/bin/python
