SSI question

I'm trying to execute a script from a webpage like that:

<img src="<!--#exec cgi="cgi-bin/ftpstatus.cgi?127.0.0.1:21"-->">

but the result is
<img src="[an error occurred while processing this directive]">

the script itself is working allright and when I remove the "?127.0.0.1:21", the error is gone... but I need to pass a parameter to the script.

You can't pass params useing the exec directive. Use this:

<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/whatever.cgi?value1=value1"-->

I found that that works and the other way doesn't.

Thanks!! It's working now!
I wanted to use a script to show the status of an FTP server (offline or online)

I figured that out when I was making a counter and needed to pas what page it was on to the script. :)
