Hello again,
I have another newbie question coming your way.
I have been told it's not a good thing to turn off cgi wrap in a hosting
environment, but I have just read at cobalt that a user can turn it off by
putting a .htaccess file in their cgi script directories that have the
following:
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
So, why now shouldn't I turn off cgi-wrap, since a user can do it anyway
using a .htaccess file.
Can anyone explain to me why you shouldnt turn off cgi-wrap server wide when
a user can turn it off themselves in their own cgi directories thus
eliminating cgi-wrap for their scripts?
Thanks,
Adam
