A CGI which use socket / datagrams?

[Mark Schonewille]

What do you mean, called by the apache server? Are you simply using  
the address http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi or are you  
running the script in another way? How are you trying to detect the  
response, using a Rev script or a php script? Do you have any scripts  
you can post? I had no problems at all opening sockets from a rev cgi  
engine and am even sending e-mails from it.

Best,

Mark
