Nagios Support Forum

Hi, list:

I'm following on my intent for a drop-in replacement for nagios user=20
interface.

Rigth now, V 0.4.8 (released today) is able to manage cmd.cgi, and only=20
pendant question is how to manage those CGIs that embed images. Now I'm=20
trying to make it work with statusmap.cgi.

It seems that something like=20
http://localhost/nagios/cgi-bin/statusm ... ge&canvas=
_x=3D0&canvas_y=3D0&canvas_width=3D593&canvas_height=3D552&max_width=3D0&ma=
x_height=3D0&layout=3D5&layermode=3Dexclude

(quite a long URL, isn't it?) does output the PNG image, and I'm trying to=
=20
wrap this invocation within a PHP file by calling the CGI as a command line=
=20
program.

=46or this to work, I do something like this:
putenv("REQUEST_METHOD=3DGET");
putenv("REMOTE_USER=3Dusername");
putenv("QUERY_STRING=3D" . $query_string);
$cgi=3DCGI_PATH . "statusmap.cgi";
$cgi_output=3Dsystem($cgi);

=2E..where, as you can imagine, $query_string equals=20
"host=3Dall&createimage&canvas_x=3D0&canvas_y=3D0&..."

This approach does work for "simple" CGIs, like tac.cgi (the Tactical Overv=
iew=20
one). Problem is that the above invocation DOES NOT return just the PNG=20
"file" but the HTTP headers too (Content-type, no cache, etc.).

Though I had a look at the statusmap source code, I haven been able to=20
discover if there's any way to call the CGI so it just returns the plain=20
image, so I can return it to the client browser the way it have to.

Well, I hope someone can guide me through this one.
