[Gambas-user] CGI - Hello World

[James Linden]

It just hit me that I don't know how much Gambas is doing internally...
The first line of this SUB would be required for a conforming HTTP response.

PUBLIC SUB Main()
   PRINT "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n"
   PRINT "Connection: close\r\n"
   PRINT "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"
   PRINT "\r\n"
   PRINT "Hello World!"
END

For more info, read RFC 2616 <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616.html>.
Also, try telnet'ing into a valid web server:

telnet gambas.sourceforge.net 80
 > HTTP/1.1 GET / <and hit enter twice>
