How to show image in CGI script?

Barca · 07-23-2005, 01:06 PM

Hello

I have idea about writing CGI script which would scan LAN for live hosts (arping will be helpful) and show monitors images showing status of every host (monitor turned off - host turned off and monitor turned on - host turned on). Simply, but I couldn't find one thing, how to show mages (gifs, jpgs etc. - no dynamically created lines or sth like this) in CGI scripts. Any help will be truely appreciated

//edit
Found it

#!/usr/bin/perl
#print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "Location: http://www.microsoft.com/secret_picture_of_bill.jpg\n\n";

Sorry for bothering

One question

I can only show image in this file :/ How to write script, which will do sth (e.x. print text, display forms etc.) and show image?

//edit

It's strange, but today I can reply to myself

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "It's my picture:\n";
print "<img src=\"http://mysite.com\/my_dir\/my_image.jpg\">\n";
print "

";

Hehe, I do that a lot too

Sometimes just talking the problem out to yourself helps to solve it!
