This was a great help.  Now I understand the structure.

> Is the "flash.cgi" file a shell script? in such case it should print

It is a unix file marked as executable.  It has NO file extension.  It 
outputs the proper header, or so it seems, but then the session 
disconnects - which probably goes back to klone's cgi handling... maybe.


The flash file does a number of things, including first calling a shell 
script.

As the file *has no extension*, it seems  cgi_is_valid_uri() (sup_cgi.c) 
does not allow it to be recognized as a true cgi.


Is it "legal" to put warn() calls in sup_cgi.c so I can do some more 
logging and track down the issue?

Been there and done that :)

Donation.

Although I should pay someone else to use my code!!
