[NTLUG:Discuss] POV-Ray gateway

[J. Reeves Hall]

I scripted a gateway to the POV-Ray raytracer.
http://neutron.uberhax0r.net/~overcode/povgate.cgi
Give it a try! It's run on Linux, Tcl, Apache, and of course POV-Ray.

I think it's pretty secure... A simple regsub command (in Tcl)
translates all #fopen directives into #error directives, to hopefully
block disk access, and the program runs as nobody at nice level 19 (so
it doesn't slow my server down too much). If you notice any security
holes, PLEASE tell me :)

<SHAMELESS PLUG>
I'm looking for short-term CGI development jobs... My specialty is Tcl.
I've already built a basic CGI setup, so I can pretty much attack the
job without coding the boilerplate CGI stuff.
