forgive me if I expresses clumsily but it's 2:30 a.m., Apache has just
cost me another 10 hours I will never get back, it looks like a bunch of
Cherokee bugs that were stopping the last time have been fixed and I
think the only thing stopping me from succeeding is that I'm probably
not reading the Cherokee documentation with a clear enough head.
What I want to do is for any point in a URL hierarchy is to return a
file if it is present, otherwise execute a CGI program to render a page
for that particular URL. For example,
http://test/simple/path
if path is a file, return it, otherwise run a CGI script invisibly
passing all the normal environment variables as you would for normal
CGI. Yes I know it could use a 404 handler, well, at least I can with
Apache but it's pretty ugly and the 404 for environment isn't the same
as a straight CGI environment.
but...it would be marvelous if I could pepper in a hierarchy with
different CGI's. Why? Don't ask. It's 2:30 in the morning.
for example,
http://test/complicated/path1
would execute CGI script 1
whereas
http://test/complicated
would execute CGI script 0
if I can get this to work right now for single hierarchy, that would
send me in to heavenly bliss. Because then I could get on with what I'm
trying to do and be done with it rather than fight with web servers.
I apologize again if this isn't clear, hopefully conversation will go
better in the morning.
