I have a server hosting by Blueshot. I have been using php to get post variables from iPhone... But now I have to use python to get post variable from iPhone. I wrote something like this
import cgi
import cgitb; cgitb.enable() # for troubleshooting
print "Content-type: text/html"
print
print """
<html>
<head><title>Sample CGI Script</title></head>
<body>
<h3> Sample CGI Script </h3>
"""
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
message = form.getvalue("message", "(no message)")
print """
<p>Previous message: %s</p>
<p>form
<form method="post" action="index.cgi">
<p>message: <input type="text" name="message"/></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
""" % message
And uploaded to my server but it doesn't work...If I navigate to the page then it just shows the source code.. I don't know whether or not python is installed on my server (I believe python might be installed as default)..How do I check if python is runnable on my server and if not how can I run python scripts on my server? All I want to do is to get POST variables from iPhone (I know how to send the variables from iPhone) Thanks in advance...

Here's a small checklist of things to check when CGI scripts aren't working:
cgi-bin (or equivalent) folder?Here's a sample CGI script you can use for testing:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import cgi; cgi.test()
Name it test.py, put it somewhere in cgi-bin, and make sure it's executable:
$ chmod a+rx test.py
Some web servers only recognize CGI scripts with certain extensions, so if .py doesn't work, you may want to try .cgi.
