[Newlug] Linux batch script question

[Bernard Starzewski]

Right.
The easy part to this is that you can run the server side script manually and actually duplicate the problem.
Just dont assume what you are getting from the client.

But I just want to emphasize that server side GET and POST are mutually exclusive.
You cant do both in the same script.
At least as far as I've evern known.
