Secure Server (SSL)
With SSL access,
you can take sensitive information over the web securely. To call your
page through the secure server, use the following url:
https://machine.safeorders.net/yourdomain/name-of-your-form.htm
(your
machine name can be found by typing in your web browser: http//yourdomain.xxx/faq.html.
The machine name your domain resides on will be in red
located at the top right corner of your faq.html page.)
The "yourdomain"
is your domain name without the extension (i.e., the username for fred.com
is fred).
FormMail
The FormMail script
is preinstalled in your cgi-bin directory. FormMail is a generic www form
to e-mail gateway, written by Matt Wright, which will parse the results
of any form and send them to the specified user. This script has many formatting
and operational options, most of which can be specified through the form,
meaning you don't need any programming knowledge or multiple scripts for
multiple forms.
To link to
the form securely, the url will look something like:
https://machine.safeorders.net/username/somepage.htm
There is only
one form field that you must have in your form for FormMail to work correctly.
This is the recipient field. Other hidden configuration fields can
also be used to enhance the operation of FormMail on your site. The action
of your form needs to refer to the location of the script, and the method
used must be "POST", expressed in capital letters.
Here's an example
of the form fields to use so that your form will post securely:
<FORM METHOD=POST
ACTION="https://machine.safeorders.net/username/cgi-bin/formmail.cgi">
<input type=hidden
name="recipient" value="whoever@yourdomain.com">
<input type=hidden
name="subject" value="Online Form">
<input type=hidden
name="return_link_url" value="http://yourdomain.com/">
<input type=hidden
name="return_link_title" value="Back to Main Page">
</form>

Cgiwrap—Secure
Server CGI Wrapper
We have a cgi wrapper
for the secure server called cgiwrap. We have configured it to be automatically
invoked when you make a call containing "cgi-yourdomain", like this:
https://machine.safeorders.net/cgi-yourdomain/script.cgi
You can call
cgiwrap explicitly with this call, which does the same thing as the above
call:
https://machine.safeorders.net/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/yourdomain/script.cgi
This assumes
script.cgi is in your cgi-bin. You can also use cgiwrapd in place
of cgiwrap to get extra debugging information if there is a problem.
