[cobalt-users] [RaQ4] cgi-wrap for files with no .cgi or .pl Solution!

For the Archives...

based on this info:
http://cgiwrap.unixtools.org/quickref.html

I created a sym-link from /home/sites/site18/users/wm_canpool/web/cgi/ to 
/home/sites/site18/web/cgi and chowned it to my user wm_canpool

This url now executes under CgiWrap correctly at...
http://test.domain.tld/cgiwrapDir/cgiwrap/~wm_canpool/cgi/scriptname

...or debug in mode:
http://test.domain.tld/cgiwrapDir/cgiwrapd/~wm_canpool/cgi/scriptname

Now I just need to rewrite so it uses this convention for
http://test.domain.tld/cgi/scriptname

This is the rewrite rule I came up with...

  RewriteRule ^/cgi/(.*)  /cgiwrapDir/cgiwrap/~wm_canpool/cgi/$1 [PT]

I inserted this into httpd.conf after the last rewrite rule in the Virtual 
Site Container for the site it is to be used in.

It's clumsy but it works!
