Is it possible to use the SS Include to execute a CGI script that resides on another server? For example say the page in question was located at http://www.myserver.com/page.shtml and it contained the SSI tag Would this work?

The reason i ask is because my ubb is set up on a IIS server that, due to it not being unix/linux, does not have sendmail and doesnt have SMTP mail facilities either. But i would like to set up a mailing list/feedback system on the site and would need the email facilities for these to work.

So what i was thinking is that maybe i could install the scripts on a unix/linux based server and simply include them using SSI. Providing thats possible that is.

Well I am no expert. But the logical answer is yes it should. But I do not know for a fact.

Ive just been experimenting and it doesnt work..... I get "Cannot #exec due to lack of EXECUTE permissions"

Never mind, ill just set up some frames instead.

Phil, sounds like you are on an Apache server (same here). Use in place of and you should be good to go

technically, this is a server-side issue, but since the script at hand is CGI, I'm moving this to the CGI forums. Forgive me if I'm wrong in doing this.
