Save this script as .../cgi-bin/test.tcl, make it executable, then
look at: <a href="http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.tcl">http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.tcl</a>
<P>
+Also, if you see something like:
+<pre>
+WebDot Error:
+
+Response Code = 403
+</pre>
+This usually means that webdot ran succesfully, but was not able
+to fetch the remote graph from the URL you gave as an argument.
+The reason is probably that your server is behind a firewall that
+blocks the webdot server, so it cannot get the graph file.
+You can either change firewall permissions, put the graph on a
+different server, or install webdot locally so you don't need a
+remote server to fetch your graph data.
+<P>
+It would be nice if someone hacked webdot to take the contents
+of a graph as a cgi-bin argument, so it wouldn't need
+permission to fetch a graph remotely.
+This is left as an exercise for the Open Source Community.

<B>Q. I have "Font not found" errors, or text labels missing in webdot.</B>
