Howdy all...I'm new to this list, longtime lurker of on web*
list/mgi/netcloak, etc.
Just upgraded from OS8.6 on G3 to 9.04 on G4, then to 9.1, and finally 9.2.1.
When I got to any OS past 8.6, a cgi I've been using for text
searches (serversearch.acgi) is behaving strangely--it used to search
html pages and return a page with text-links based on the "title" tag
of the html.
Now, although it works, the link-text that gets returned IS NOT the
title tag of the FOUND page...it's some crazy stuff...but it is the
correct URL to the correct page -- just the link-text is munged (and
no error from the cgi).
IDEAS? What happened to applescript or the OS that could explain
this...nothing else changed...including the AS version. Other
"homegrown" cgis working fine.
Here it is working on G3/450 OS8.6 AS1.4:

"tenant" for example)
NOT WORKING VERSION: same software/server (web*) different
machine/OS -- G4/733 OS9.2.1 (with Applescript 1.4 , NOT 1.6. )
http://www.idt1.com/services/search.html (search for "data" for example)
any idea how to correct this?
