Description: | This module provides for executing CGI scripts based on media type or request method. |
---|---|
Status: | Base |
Module Identifier: | actions_module |
Source File: | mod_actions.c |
This module has two directives. The Action
directive lets you run CGI
scripts whenever a file of a certain type is requested. The
Script
directive lets
you run CGI scripts whenever a particular method is used in a
request. This makes it much easier to execute scripts that process
files.
Description: | Activates a CGI script for a particular handler or content-type |
---|---|
Syntax: | Action action-type cgi-script |
Context: | server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess |
Override: | FileInfo |
Status: | Base |
Module: | mod_actions |
This directive adds an action, which will activate
cgi-script when action-type is triggered by the
request. The cgi-script is the URL-path to a resource
that has been designated as a CGI script using ScriptAlias
or AddHandler
. The
action-type can be either a handler or a MIME content type. It
sends the URL and file path of the requested document using the
standard CGI PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED environment
variables.
# Requests for files of a particular type:
Action image/gif /cgi-bin/images.cgi
# Files of a particular file extension
AddHandler my-file-type .xyz
Action my-file-type /cgi-bin/program.cgi
In the first example, requests for files with a MIME content
type of image/gif
will instead be handled by the
specified cgi script /cgi-bin/images.cgi
.
In the second example, requests for files with a file extension of
.xyz
are handled instead by the specified cgi script
/cgi-bin/program.cgi
.
Description: | Activates a CGI script for a particular request method. |

Syntax: | Script method cgi-script |
Context: | server config, virtual host, directory |
Status: | Base |
Module: | mod_actions |
This directive adds an action, which will activate
cgi-script when a file is requested using the method of
method. The cgi-script is the URL-path to a
resource that has been designated as a CGI script using ScriptAlias
or AddHandler
. The URL and
file path of the requested document is sent using the standard CGI
PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED environment variables.
Script PUT
and
Script put
have two entirely different
effects.
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 GET
will only be called if there are query arguments present
(e.g., foo.html?hi). Otherwise, the request will
proceed normally.
# For <ISINDEX>-style searching
Script GET /cgi-bin/search
# A CGI PUT handler
Script PUT /~bob/put.cgi
