cg-eye

cg-eye is a test harness for HTTP and CGI. It may be used as an intermediate stage between running your software from the commandline and putting it online, and will diagnose a number of potential problems.

There are currently three components to cg-eye:

1. cg-eye offline - A test harness to simulate a CGI environment offline, without the need for a browser or HTTP server. Prints diagnostic messages about a range of likely problems.
2. cg-eye interactive - An online harness to specify an HTTP request to send to your server and print diagnostics on the server's response.
3. cg-eye live - An online harness to intercept a request from a browser (normally generated "live" from an HTML form) and forward it to your server. Details of both the Request and the server's Response are printed.

Availability

cg-eye is running online at the Web Design Group.
