I suggest you talk to your server administrator.<br />
The way I see it, your server *does* recognize POST, but it refuses to execute your program with POST, probably due to the server configuration.<br />
<br />
Have you tried using POST with a CGI script in the same location?<br />
Just use any dummy script to see if you get the same error or another one.<br />

    I have made a page:  http://www.east.cn.net/~hyjin/chpass.html  and also design a CGI program with C.  I compiled the C program to executable file.  And the URL is http://www.east.cn.net/~hyjin/cgi-bin/chgpasswd.cgi

    But when I click the "Submit" button in the page, it comes out the following error:

How do I use POST in C?

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
