This is off-topic, pretty much, but interesting nonetheless.
I just stumbled across Apache DSSI <URL:http://apache_dssi.tripod.com/>,
which seems to allow for that. I haven't tried it out, or even
looked at the code yet, but the author apparently considers it
1.0 verion code.
Here is the summary from the page:
By using this extentions to mod_include, you can make your own
function for SSI (Server Side Includes) and you can call your
function with SSI directives. This solution is based on mod_so
and mod_include. By using DSSI, you can integrate your CGI easily
and make your CGI faster than any other CGI accelerator.
The example the author gives pretty much sums it up (this is a
little long, sorry):
temp_dssi.c:
#include "httpd.h"
#include "http_config.h"
#include "http_request.h"
#include "http_core.h"
#include "http_protocol.h"
#include "http_log.h"
#include "http_main.h"
#include "util_script.h"
#include "util_date.h"
int temp_dssi(request_rec *r, char *args)
{
const char *s;
s = ap_table_get(r->subprocess_env,"QUERY_STRING");
if(s && *s)
ap_rprintf(r,"%s\n",s);
if(args && *args)
ap_rprintf(r,"%s\n",args);
return OK;
}
Compiling:
$ gcc -c -I/apache_root_dir/include -O2 temp_dssi.c
$ gcc -I/apache_root_dir/include -O2 temp_dssi.o -shared -o
temp_dssi.so
$ cp temp_dssi.so /apache_root_dir/libexec/
httpd.conf:
LoadDSSI libexec/temp_dssi.so
temp_dssi.shtml:
<html><body><pre>
<!--#exec func="temp_dssi $DOCUMENT_ROOT" -->
</pre></body></html>
