Can anyone clarify on how to configure Tomcat 8.5 to serve an external executable? The CGI-HowTo documentation is VERY unclear to me.
So let's say I have an application installed under 'c:\myApp' that provides a CGI executable 'c:\myApp\cgi\myapp.exe' now how do I configure Tomcat to have requests to http://localhost/myApp to call the c:\myApp\cgi\myapp.exe executable? I tried to add a context.xml file named myapp.xml to {TOMCAT_BASE}\conf\catalina\localhost with following content: <Context displayName= "myApp" docBase="C:\myApp\cgi\" path="/myApp" reloadable="false" privileged="true" swallowOutput="true" workDir="work\Catalina\localhost\myApp"> </Context> But that doesn't seem to work, it will try to download the myapp.exe file. Any instructions are welcome.
