Author form fields with a period
Jeff

2006-08-17, 6:47 pm

I have a script simulating a client logging into the vDeck control panel

One of the form fields is .submit

I don't seem to be able to pass this through. I've tried:

..submit=some_value
%2Esubmit=some_value
%2esubmit=some_value

this is all part of a longer string

I wrote a little PERL script to test this:


#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI;
my $query=new CGI;
my @param=$query->param;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

foreach my $item(@param){
print $item . ' : ' . $query->param($item) . '<br />';
}

There's something about that "." that "escapes" me!

I never figured this out, but I broke through to the VDeck console, so

The whole task of this was to allow one client to set up FTP accounts
without seeing or accessing everything else.

What a pain!

Maybe moot as well!

Sorry for picking on your spelling, but I once had a high-level manager
who also spelled it "mute" (including in documents sent to clients), and
even pronounced it that way. :-)

That's a moot point! Or is it a mute point?
