callcgi - CGI request handler for ashd(7)
callcgi [-c] [-p PROGRAM] METHOD URL REST
callcgi serves CGI scripts by translating the ashd(7) request
environment into a standard CGI environment and executing the target
file. It needs to be called with the X-Ash-File header added to the
request, as dirplex(1) does.
callcgi is a transient handler, as defined in ashd(7), and the
METHOD, URL and REST arguments will normally be added by the
parent handler.
The CGI script is called with its own filename as the first and only
command-line parameter.
-
-c
-
Change directory to the directory containing the CGI script
before running it. This behavior is encouraged by the CGI
specification, but is not used by callcgi by default.
-
-p PROGRAM
-
Call PROGRAM instead of the file itself. This mechanism can
be used to serve e.g. PHP scripts and other programs that have
an interpreter that can act as a CGI script. The filename of
the actual script is still passed as the first and only
command-line parameter to the program.
