Saving Images using a CGI

Hi,








can someone help me on how to save images from msketch using a server side CGI written in perl.








For now I can submit a molfile using





function submitstructure()


{


var s = document.MSketch.getMol(\"mol\");


s = unix2local(s);


document.structure.molfile.value = s;


}





together with a hidden input that is posted to my CGI that reads the value.








I'd like to do the same with an image. Can I fill a hidden input tag with the image information and save it as an image file?








Any ideas are gladly appreciated! :-)

P.S.: I can't use molconvert on the server side as it fails to run java. :-(

I can not help you in CGI. But I can suggest you a JSP solution:

See the following topic, how you can use Java without X server:

Might this also cause the installation to fail? Is there a switch to the bin-file for headless installation?

Since Marvin Beans installers require GUI, I suggest you to try this one:

This is the zipped version of the Marvin Beans release. This package has not got an installer.


You can find its installation guide, here:
