| <H1>Apache module mod_env</h1> |
| |
| This module is contained in the <code>mod_env.c</code> file, and |
| is not compiled in by default. It provides for |
| passing environment variables to CGI/SSI scripts. Is is only available |
| in Apache 1.1 and later. |
| |
| <h2>Summary</h2> |
| |
| This module allows Apache's CGI and SSI environment to inherit |
| environment variables from the shell which invoked the httpd process. |
| CERN webservers are able to do this, so this module is especially |
| useful to webadmins who wish to migrate from CERN to Apache without |
| rewriting all their scripts |
