Webserver 1.0 URL

Can someone tell me the correct URL syntax to invoke a PL/SQL procedure? Their guide says:

http://www.whatever.com:port#/ows bin/servicename/owa/procedurename

The blank between ows and bin causes a syntax error on Netscape. Oracle uses this same syntax at least twice in their documentation so I don't think it is a typo.

The book "Oracle How To" on the other hand shows the syntax:

http://www.whatever.com:port#/ows-bin/owa/procedurename

Note that they don't use a service name. I don't know if it's because they use a default service.

At any rate, if I don't have the correct directory where the agent resides and have the literal "owa" I get the message "URL not found". If I spell everything right but put in a bogus procedurename, then I get the meesage "Request Failed...".

I have basically written a "hello world" PL/SQL procedure and have created a public synonym for it granting execute to the appropriate roles and to public. I don't know if the procedure is just not being found or what.

Could someone succinctly explain how to get a PL/SQL procedure (with HTP and .HTF package calls, etc.) to run and return dynamic pages to the browser. The err file shows nothing at all except that the web server was started or exited.
