Webshare ... wow ... that goes back a way! When using FILELISTs, you can code magical things like "*CGI". For lack of a better term, let's call that a trigger filetype. But when running purely from SFS, Webshare internally creates FILELIST streams, so the only filetypes you get are a real filetypes (undoctored LISTFILE output), not a trigger filetype.
Recollection is fuzzy, but I believe you can have CGIs and SFS hierarchy handled by the same HTTPD v-machine, you just cannot have CGIs living in an SFS-defined-only kind of space. For CGIs to be executed instead of served out (like plain files), they must reside on an ACCESSed disk or in an ACCESSed SFS directory and be listed in a hand-crafted FILELIST. If you can think of a way around this, you should code it and contribute it. :-) On Feb 19, 2008 6:04 AM, Berry van Sleeuwen < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello list, > > I have been playing a bit with the Webshare package from Rick Troth.
