Here's a brain thumper...
I have a Cocoa app running a tool with NSTask. No problems. I have a
Carbon app that talks to the Cocoa app via AppleEvents. No problems.
I wrote a tool that sends these events to the Cocoa app so that I could
ultimately run it as a CGI with the same interface as the Carbon app.
Problem. If I run it from the terminal, all is fine. If I run it from
the server, I get the 500 Server Misconfiguration error. Any idea why?
My 'offthetopofmyhead' guess is that perhaps there's a mechanism in
place to prevent CGIs from sending and receiving appleEvents with other
apps without the same permissions level, but I tried changing
permissions and had no luck.
And as a little more info, I even stripped out only the part of the code
that actually sends the appleEvent, and that's the part Apache is
finding offensive. If I send the event, I get that error (and the event
does not arrive), if I do not send the event, but construct and
deconstruct the AE, no problems.
Anyone got a clue on this one? I searched Apple's site for anything
regarding this, and came up empty. Searched the mailing list archives
and came up empty. Called Steve and he asked me to quit bugging him
during breakfast.
