Helper script:
The following Perl script is a sample CGI helper script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
use Fcntl;
#
# The prefix is used to get from the current working directory
# to the location of the image file you are writing
#
my ($prefix) = "c:/inetpub/wwwroot";
my ($start, $end, $len, $decode);
my $q = new CGI(); # Get CGI data
my $file = $q->param('file'); # File to be written
my $range = $q->param('range'); # Byte range to be written
my $data = $q->param('data'); # Data to be written
#
# Merges the filename correctly
#
$file = $prefix . "/" . $file;
#
# Decode the range
#
if ($range =~ m/([0-9A-Fa-f]+)-([0-9A-Fa-f]+)/) {
$start = hex($1);
$end = hex($2);
$len = $end - $start + 1;
}
