RE: Any reason not to SSI include Registry scripts?

[Kenneth Lee]

Hey, I'm doing this too! I use #include virtual to invoke 
my CGI scripts to embed some dynamic objects. But to do so 
my scripts have to add a if-construct to get the query string 
when running as a SSI script:

  if ($ENV{SERVER_PROTOCOL} eq 'INCLUDED') {
    ($qstr) =~ ($ENV{REQUEST_URI} =~ /\?(.*)/);
    $q = new CGI $qstr;
  } else {
    $q = new CGI;
  }

yeah, this is ugly, but i'm doing this anyway.
hope this helps.

Subject: Any reason not to SSI include Registry scripts?


As a way to speed up the CGIs but allow my designers easy access to 
the html file, I'm executing an Apache::Registry CGI script from 
within an .shtml document using #exec cgi . The Apache manual says to 
prefer use of #include virtual, but that doesn't pass the query 
string from the request. In a way this is a hacked template system. :)

Is there a reason, barring the known fact it would be faster as a 
full blown module :), not to use this set-up?

Thanks!
