CGI script serving VRML

[José Rui Faustino de Sousa]

Hi!

I am having problems with a CGI script serving VRML.

The CGI script is in python and I am using Apache to serve it (and
Apache is serving .wrl files OK)

The simplest script is something like:

print "Content-type: model/vrml"
print "Pragma: no-cache"
print

fln = "fog.wrl"
file = open( fln, "r" )
buff = file.read()
file.close()
print buff

The file displays OK if I use http://www.myserver.net/fog.wrl

And using a batch file:

@echo off
echo Content-type: model/vrml
echo Pragma: no-cache
echo.
type fog.wrl

Also works OK.

But using a Python CGI I only get a blank screen.

If instead of opening it directly I save the link to disk it saves a
properly formed VRML and automaticly chosses the right file type (.wrl).

My VRML browser is ParallelGraphics Cortona pluged into MSIE.

Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong?

Another thing. What is the "standard" package to generate VRML in
Python?

I was only able to find mcf_VRML and it does not seam to be used much...
Or is it that VRML is not used much?...

Best regards
José Rui
