Re: [users@httpd] How to invoke CGI program without using its file extension?

["Rafael del Aguila" <raguila.fisica@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I get it!

In Apache2 config file I need to add in the cgi-bin Directory section the following directives:

Options MultiViews
AddHandler cgi-script exe

With these directives I can run a cgi program (.exe) without using its file extension.

I were not using this options in Apache 1.3, perhaps the default behaviour are diferent in both releases.

Thanks.

It sounds like you were using "Options Multiviews" in 1.3.
