You should be able to just use mod_rewrite to rewrite incoming requests for "^/cgi/([^.]*)$" to "/cgi/$1.app". I think that will work as long as none of the cgi scripts have a dot as part of their name other than .app. If it does, you'll need to get more creative with your regex, or use a negated rewrite cond to only apply the rewrite when the URL doesn't already end in .app. Does that help? -Brian -- Feel free to contact me using PGP Encryption: Key Id: 0x3AA70848 Available from: http://pgp.mit.edu/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
