For the cgi, I don't use the "http" because I got to understand (after a lot
of struggle) that that¹s only for the apache server other then that I use
the regular path, e.g. In the same folder I just put "filex.x" for the
document folder I use "/filex.x". Also I tried everything I could think of.
As you could see below in the examples.

I don¹t think that it will work with a million record plus, db.

But what I do see that no way to invest in a non standard item or project
unless you know it in and out other wise you might end up in trouble. I put
in a lot of time and effort in a web site doing the front end and it is very
nice and works good but what does it matter the face if the brain is dead.
(despite the advise not to because its not standard and might end up in hot
water in case I will need help and to use "PHP")
Thanks, Hershel
