How can we transform a static page foo.html into a dynamic variant foo.cgi in a seamless way, i.e. without notice by the browser/user.
Solution:
We just rewrite the URL to the CGI-script and force the correct MIME-type so it gets really run as a CGI-script. This way a request to /~quux/foo.html internally leads to the invocation of /~quux/foo.cgi.
- Code: Select all
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /~quux/
RewriteRule ^foo\.html$ foo.cgi [T=application/x-httpd-cgi]
