antmedia and CGI with AJAX

[Ray Jender]

Ubuntu 18.04

antmedia community version

So I am experimenting with running a CGI via an AJAX process.

The CGI is a perl script with code to update a mysql database. 

The perl scripts works fine in stand alone mode when I execute it

from a console.

Now I want to send a variable to the perl script.  Here is what I

am using in the index.html, upon entering the  function startPublishing():

I use javascript to generate a random value and then I want to send it to

the perl script.  The perl script should update a database.

var myURL = 'https://localhost:5443/WebRTCApp/WEB-INF/cgi/connDB.cgi?streamID=' + streamId ;

$.post(myURL);

In the browser console I am seeing this:

POST https://localhost:5443/WebRTCApp/WEB-INF/cgi/connDB.cgi?streamID=asfknehadjr 

net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

XHR failed loading: POST "https://localhost:5443/WebRTCApp/WEB-INF/cgi/connDB.cgi?streamID=asfknehadjr".

The streamID value is correct.  However the ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED and XHR failed loading are the problem.

Any ideas why these errors are happening?

Note that the publishing function still works.  I just can't view it yet, until I get this fixed.

Thanks
