<p>This module has two directives. The <code class="directive"><a href="#action">Action</a></code> directive lets you run CGI
37
scripts whenever a file of a certain <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#mime-type" title="see glossary">MIME content type</a> is requested. The
38
<code class="directive"><a href="#script">Script</a></code> directive lets
39
you run CGI scripts whenever a particular method is used in a
40
request. This makes it much easier to execute scripts that process

<p>This directive adds an action, which will activate
68
<var>cgi-script</var> when <var>action-type</var> is triggered by
69
the request. The <var>cgi-script</var> is the URL-path to a
70
resource that has been designated as a CGI script using <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_alias.html#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler">AddHandler</a></code>. The
71
<var>action-type</var> can be either a <a href="../handler.html">handler</a> or a <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#mime-type" title="see glossary">MIME content type</a>. It sends the URL and
72
file path of the requested document using the standard CGI
73
<code>PATH_INFO</code> and <code>PATH_TRANSLATED</code>
74
environment variables. The handler used for the particular request
75
is passed using the <code>REDIRECT_HANDLER</code> variable.</p>
77
<div class="example"><h3>Examples</h3><p><code>
78
# Requests for files of a particular MIME content type:<br />
79
Action image/gif /cgi-bin/images.cgi<br />
81
# Files of a particular file extension<br />
82
AddHandler my-file-type .xyz<br />
83
Action my-file-type /cgi-bin/program.cgi<br />
86
<p>In the first example, requests for files with a MIME content
87
type of <code>image/gif</code> will be handled by the
88
specified cgi script <code>/cgi-bin/images.cgi</code>.</p>
90
<p>In the second example, requests for files with a file extension of
91
<code>.xyz</code> are handled by the specified cgi script
92
<code>/cgi-bin/program.cgi</code>.</p>
94
<p>The optional <code>virtual</code> modifier turns off the check
95
whether the requested file really exists. This is useful, for example,
96
if you want to use the <code class="directive">Action</code> directive in
97
virtual locations.</p>

123
<p>This directive adds an action, which will activate
124
<var>cgi-script</var> when a file is requested using the method of
125
<var>method</var>. The <var>cgi-script</var> is the URL-path to a
126
resource that has been designated as a CGI script using <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_alias.html#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler">AddHandler</a></code>. The URL and
127
file path of the requested document is sent using the standard CGI
128
<code>PATH_INFO</code> and <code>PATH_TRANSLATED</code> environment
132
Any arbitrary method name may be used. <strong>Method names are
133
case-sensitive</strong>, so <code>Script PUT</code> and
134
<code>Script put</code> have two entirely different
138
<p>Note that the <code class="directive">Script</code> command defines default
139
actions only. If a CGI script is called, or some other resource that is
140
capable of handling the requested method internally, it will do
141
so. Also note that <code class="directive">Script</code> with a method of
142
<code>GET</code> will only be called if there are query arguments present
143
(<em>e.g.</em>, foo.html?hi). Otherwise, the request will
144
proceed normally.</p>
146
<div class="example"><h3>Examples</h3><p><code>
147
# For <ISINDEX>-style searching<br />
148
Script GET /cgi-bin/search<br />
150
# A CGI PUT handler<br />
151
Script PUT /~bob/put.cgi<br />
