Steve,

First, off, this the exec options of SSI is not used very often and is
disabled on most web servers for security reasons.  Unless you have a very
specific and good reason for using it, I'd recommend using a real CGI script
and include the SAS/IntrNet page from there if possible - or simply include
the static HTML in your SAS/IntrNet program.

The SSI specs at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_include.html and
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/ssi.html don't indicate that you can
enter a query string in the value parameter, instead you can pass a query
string to the actual page that is loading and it should get passed normally
as an environment variable to the included CGI script.  It seems you can
also set environment variables with include directives, so you can try
setting QUERY_STRING if things don't seem to be working.

Does anyone know how to pass parameters in the SSI statement.

this works:
        <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/broker" -->

this does not work:
        <!--#exec cgi='/cgi-bin/broker?_debug=0' -->
        <!--#exec
cgi="/cgi-bin/broker?_debug=0_SERVICE=test&_PROGRAM=programs.ssi.sas" -->


Thanks for any suggestions.
