I am sending this on behalf of a Final Year student - help much appreciated.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I am a final year project student, and I need advice urgently (project
deadline round the corner!!)
The requirement of my Win95 project involves invoking another
application from within Netscape. Essentially what happens is this:
a) the user goes to my web page.
b) he wants to send me a document or a text string from his PC.
c) He can do this either by sending in in plain-text, or cipher it
using PGP residing on his system.
d) If it is in plain text, he will then post the document using the
POST command
e) If it is to be encrypted, he will invoke PGP. Here lies my problem.
I have been trying very hard but with little success to combine CGI
and plug-in together. The plug-in is suppose to invoke PGP, while the
CGI transfer the encrypted file from my client system to the
web-server
Can anyone please advise or give me some pointers.
