Description
===========
CGI programs allow you to enhance the functionality of the server in a very
straight and simple way..
Options
=======
cgi.assign
file-extensions that are handled by a CGI program
e.g.: ::
cgi.assign = ( ".pl" => "/usr/bin/perl",
".cgi" => "/usr/bin/perl" )
Examples
========
To setup a executable which doesn't need the help of a external program you
just don't specify a handler for the extension. ::
cgi.assign = ( ".sh" => "" )
If the file has no extension keep in mind that lighttpd matches not the
extension itself but the right part of the URL: ::
cgi.assign = ( "/testfile" => "" )
