Database searching and other CGI-bin executables

If you would like to have a form to perform a customized function, send a message to Graeme Kennedy <graeme@gastown.com> to obtain an estimate of the cost of installing a tailor-made solution such as:

Formatted Purchase Order e-mail response forms which calculate taxes and order totals before submission.
Search forms to help net surfers find the pages that contain the words that they are looking for.
Server-side push (CGI-BIN animation) is not currently supported by the web daemon, but it may be in the future, and Graeme knows to program it.

Electronic Commerce and Secure Documents

Gastown Webspace has established a FirstVirtual vendor account, but banking technicalities (cross-border issues) have prevented implementation of "pay-per-view" documents and paying your Gastown bill with your FirstVirtual account. In the meantime, you may want to get a purchasing account anyway, just to learn how their system works.

Access-controlled private pages can be set up using the .htaccess mechanism on a custom basis.
