Bug #: 52494
Summary: allow the Action directive to point in the filesystem
space
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.5-HEAD
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: mod_actions
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Hi.
Currently the Action directive can only point to a URI-space based script (e.g.
/cgi-bin/foo).
It would be worth IMHO, to have an enhanced version of action, that allows
pointing to a filesystem-space based script (e.g. /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php).
Perhaps even automatically setting the cgi-script handler for it.
The reason is:
- Convenience, one saves the use of ScriptAlias, or something similar
- Not cluttering the URI-space by paths that are "not needed" (i.e. /cgi-bin/)
- Security: hiding the interpreter cgi-scripts from the clients. They should
not need to see them and they should not be able to invoke them direclty
Chris.
