RE: [cgiapp] Question on header_props and meta refresh

["Kleindenst, Fred" <suppressed>]

Here's the complete runmode for an interstitial:


sub wait_screen {
   my $self = shift;
   my $t = $self->load_tmpl('wait.tmpl',die_on_bad_params=>0);

   # Create Link to Actual Run Mode
   # This becomes a Meta refresh 
   my $URL = "report.cgi?rm=report_tsv";

   $self->header_props(-Refresh=>"1; URL=$URL");

   # pass in some values
   #     
   $t->param(
                    msg =>              'Your Report is being generated. Please wait.',
            );
   return $t->output;

}

Subject: [cgiapp] Question on header_props and meta refresh


Hello all,

I'm am busy RTFM right now trying to get the syntax correct on the following:

I want to set the header of an HTML page I am returning so that it contains a meta refresh going to another runmode.

Why?  I plan to display page 1 that contians an interstitial message explaining a long load time for page 2.

Can anyone share their one line of code that does this, before I figure it out?

--Fred

CGI::Application is designed to fit into many tool
environments.  It gives you object oriented control
over your screens.

I use CGI::FormBuilder and CGI.pm both in building
application screens.

I find CGI::FormBuilder easy to use and it also fits
right into two common template tools in Perl.  I use
it almost transparently with CGI::Application.  When I
need some custom work, I can always use CGI.pm for
that part.

For commands ... you have to decide how you want to
manage it.  In one application I parse a file of
commands and then display results using
CGI::FormBuilder.  I use the upload feature to get the
file from the PC connected to the server.  Then I save
the command stream in a common data area that is
shared by all users who need to use that command
stream.

I use a separate object to manage parsing and
disemination of the data.

Sincerely,

David Scott
