| 4 | NAME | |
| 5 | ---- | |
| 6 | callcgi - CGI request handler for ashd(7) | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 9 | -------- | |
| 10 | *callcgi* [*-c*] [*-p* 'PROGRAM'] 'METHOD' 'URL' 'REST' | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 13 | ----------- | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | *callcgi* serves CGI scripts by translating the *ashd*(7) request | |
| 16 | environment into a standard CGI environment and executing the target | |
| 17 | file. It needs to be called with the `X-Ash-File` header added to the | |
| 18 | request, as *dirplex*(1) does. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | *callcgi* is a transient handler, as defined in *ashd*(7), and the | |
| 21 | 'METHOD', 'URL' and 'REST' arguments will normally be added by the | |
| 22 | parent handler. | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | The CGI script is called with its own filename as the first and only | |
| 25 | command-line parameter. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | OPTIONS | |
| 28 | ------- | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | *-c*:: | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | Change directory to the directory containing the CGI script | |
| 33 | before running it. This behavior is encouraged by the CGI | |
| 34 | specification, but is not used by *callcgi* by default. | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | *-p* 'PROGRAM':: | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | Call 'PROGRAM' instead of the file itself. This mechanism can | |
| 39 | be used to serve e.g. PHP scripts and other programs that have | |
| 40 | an interpreter that can act as a CGI script. The filename of | |
| 41 | the actual script is still passed as the first and only | |
| 42 | command-line parameter to the program. | |
