Hello again,I guess my earlier message was either ignored or people didn't know what I was talking about. I didn't want to post all my code, because I don't think the problem lies within the code (the exact same cgi program works on the Red Hat UNIX client/server enviroment that it was created in). I was just trying to find out if it was a common problem ie. that an application that works perfectly well on UNIX does not when transferred to cygwin. I'll try to keep this brief: <--- if (strcmp(cgi_request, "h")==0) { insert_js("/home/John McAllister/website/javascript/js_validation.txt"); populate_fields(); } ---> OK - I simply call two functions if the correct request type is posted. ---> void insert_js(char *file_name) { FILE *fp; char buffer[65536]; int res; fp = fopen(file_name, "r");
^^^ Here's a red flag. This goes back to the comment I made about binary/text mode issues I mentioned in response to your first post on this subject. If you expect the behavior of text files to mirror binary ones (as they do on UNIX/Linux), you'll want to port your program appropriately.
