[mapserver-users] Works in Winnt but not Linux...

[Michael Hearne]

Janet - If you really have & in your URL, the semicolon might be
causing a problem.  Good CGI programs are supposed to strip out all
semicolons so people can't use them to do something like:

"http://www.whatever.com/cgi-bin/doit.pl?x=50&y=65;cat /etc/passwd"

If, on the other hand, the & is just an artifact of you pasting the
URL into your e-mail program, then your problem is something else
entirely.  :)

It's like it's just not even executing the mapserv executable. Yet I know the mapserv executable works cause it is called properly on a "SUBMIT".
