cg-eye

A tool for interactive CGI debugging and testing

cg-eye interactive

cg-eye is a test harness for CGI. It may be used as an intermediate stage between running your scripts from the commandline and putting them online, and will diagnose a number of potential problems.

cg-eye interactive lets you construct an HTTP request which will be sent to your server. It will print a full report of the request and the response, including (optionally) the text of the document returned and HTML validation where applicable.
