| <H1>Apache module mod_actions</h1> |
| |
| This module is contained in the <code>mod_actions.c</code> file, and |
| is compiled in by default. It provides for |
| executing CGI scripts based on media type or request method. It is not |
| present in versions prior to Apache 1.1. |
| |
| <h2>Summary</h2> |
| |
| This module lets you run CGI scripts whenever a file of a certain type |
| is requested. This makes it much easier to execute scripts that |
| process files. |
| |
| <h2>Directives</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li><A HREF="#action">Action</A> |
| <li><A HREF="#script">Script</A> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <hr> |
| |
| <A name="action"><h2>Action</h2></A> |
| <strong>Syntax:</strong> Action <em>mime-type cgi-script</em><br> |
| <strong>Context:</strong> server config, virutal host, directory, .htaccess<br> |
| <strong>Override:</strong> FileInfo<br> |
| <strong>Status:</strong> Base<br> |
| <strong>Module:</strong> mod_actions<br> |
| <strong>Compatibility:</strong> Action is only available in Apache 1.1 |
| and later<p> |
| |
| This directive adds an action, which will activate <em>cgi-script</em> when |
| a file of content type <em>mime-type</em> is requested. It sends the |
| URL and file path of the requested document using the standard |
| CGI PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED environment variables. |
| |
| <hr> |
| |
| <A name="script"><h2>Script</h2></A> |
| <strong>Syntax:</strong> Script <em>method cgi-script</em><br> |
| <strong>Context:</strong> server config, virutal host, directory<br> |
| <strong>Status:</strong> Base<br> |
| <strong>Module:</strong> mod_actions<br> |
| <strong>Compatibility:</strong> Script is only available in Apache 1.1 |
| and later<p> |
| |
| <p>This directive adds an action, which will activate <em>cgi-script</em> when |
| a file is requested using the method of <em>method</em>, which can be |
| one of <code>GET</code>, <code>POST</code>, <code>PUT</code> or |
| <code>DELETE</code>. It sends the |
| URL and file path of the requested document using the standard |
| CGI PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED environment variables. |
| |
| <p>Note that the Script command defines default actions only. If a CGI |
| script is called, or some other resource that is capable of handling |
| the requested method internally, it will do so. Also note that script |
| with a method of <code>GET</code> will only be called if there are |
| query arguments present (e.g. foo.html?hi). Otherwise, the request |
| will proceed normally. |
| |
| <p>Examples: |
| <pre> |
| Script GET /cgi-bin/search #e.g. for <ISINDEX>-style searching |
| Script PUT /~bob/put.cgi |
| </pre> |
