<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>This module has two directives. The <code class="directive"><a href="#action">Action</a></code> directive lets you run CGI
scripts whenever a file of a certain <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#mime-type" title="see glossary">MIME content type</a> is requested. The
<code class="directive"><a href="#script">Script</a></code> directive lets
you run CGI scripts whenever a particular method is used in a
request. This makes it much easier to execute scripts that process
files.</p> </div>

<p>This directive adds an action, which will activate
<var>cgi-script</var> when <var>action-type</var> is triggered by
the request. The <var>cgi-script</var> is the URL-path to a
resource that has been designated as a CGI script using <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_alias.html#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler">AddHandler</a></code>. The
<var>action-type</var> can be either a <a href="../handler.html">handler</a> or a <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#mime-type" title="see glossary">MIME content type</a>. It sends the URL and
file path of the requested document using the standard CGI
<code>PATH_INFO</code> and <code>PATH_TRANSLATED</code>
environment variables. The handler used for the particular request
is passed using the <code>REDIRECT_HANDLER</code> variable.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example: MIME type</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config"># Requests for files of a particular MIME content type:
Action image/gif /cgi-bin/images.cgi</pre>
</div>
<p>In this example, requests for files with a MIME content
type of <code>image/gif</code> will be handled by the
specified cgi script <code>/cgi-bin/images.cgi</code>.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example: File extension</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config"># Files of a particular file extension
AddHandler my-file-type .xyz
Action my-file-type "/cgi-bin/program.cgi"</pre>
</div>
<p>In this example, requests for files with a file extension of
<code>.xyz</code> are handled by the specified cgi script
<code>/cgi-bin/program.cgi</code>.</p>
<p>The optional <code>virtual</code> modifier turns off the check
whether the requested file really exists. This is useful, for example,
if you want to use the <code class="directive">Action</code> directive in
virtual locations.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"><Location "/news">
SetHandler news-handler
Action news-handler "/cgi-bin/news.cgi" virtual
</Location></pre>

<p>This directive adds an action, which will activate
<var>cgi-script</var> when a file is requested using the method of
<var>method</var>. The <var>cgi-script</var> is the URL-path to a
resource that has been designated as a CGI script using <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_alias.html#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler">AddHandler</a></code>. The URL and
file path of the requested document is sent using the standard CGI
<code>PATH_INFO</code> and <code>PATH_TRANSLATED</code> environment
variables.</p>
<div class="note">
Any arbitrary method name may be used. <strong>Method names are
case-sensitive</strong>, so <code>Script PUT</code> and
<code>Script put</code> have two entirely different
effects.
</div>
<p>Note that the <code class="directive">Script</code> command defines default
actions only. If a CGI script is called, or some other resource that is
capable of handling the requested method internally, it will do
so. Also note that <code class="directive">Script</code> with a method of
<code>GET</code> will only be called if there are query arguments present
(<em>e.g.</em>, foo.html?hi). Otherwise, the request will
proceed normally.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"># All GET requests go here
Script GET "/cgi-bin/search"
# A CGI PUT handler
Script PUT "/~bob/put.cgi"</pre>
