passing variables to python script
Hello again,
You guys might remember me from the "Apache problems" thread. And because this forum is the only one that actually helped me out after months of problems I was hoping you could help me with something related.

Now if you remember the final code that we made for creating an account on a SQUID proxy server that is what we will be dealing with. If not then here it is:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"

import os

def main():
#    username = "working123"
#    password = "working"
    os.system("htpasswd -b /etc/squid/passwd '%s' '%s'" % (username.replace("'", ""), password.replace("'", "")))
    return 0
if __name__ == '__main__': main()

Now the code works fine, the only problem is that it wors fine with stub values. I need user input, so that a user can input a desired username and a desired password and then those strings would be passed to the python script which would then fill in the data. Now I looked around on google and a few friends and we tried this script:
Code:
 <html>
  <form action="http://192.168.1.4:8000/cgi-bin/test.py" method="POST">

      Name:    <input type="text" name="username"><br>
      pass:   <input type="text" name="password"><br>
      <input type="submit">

  </form>
  </html>

Now it did not work. I found it quite difficult to find info on this agian. Lets see if you guys can go 2 for 2 Smilie
