Hi, all, fellow list member Caleb Gray recently shared a tip with me off-list which i feel is worth passing on: extensionless CGI scripts under Apache.
For example: http://fossil.wanderinghorse.net/repos/test/blah "blah" is a CGI script which looks like: #!/path/to/fossil repository: /path/to/libfossil.fsl what makes it work is this .htaccess file: Options +ExecCGI SetHandler cgi-script Some hosters may allow users to hide CGIs behind a .html extension: # doesn't work on my hoster :( AddHandler cgi-script .html DirectoryIndex index.html (@Caleb: do you have a workaround for that one?) There's on tiny caveat which maybe someone can tell me a workaround for (without mod_rewrite please because my hoster installs rewrite rules already to redirect subdomains and new rules tend to misinteract with those): This works: http://fossil.wanderinghorse.net/repos/test/blah but this does not: http://fossil.wanderinghorse.net/repos/test/blah/ (notice the trailing slash) That is indeed "correct" behaviour, but it bugs me nonetheless because blah "looks like" a directory and i would like it to behave that way regardless of whether there is a /path/part after it or not.
