Yea, this is a tough one to solve ...

The only solution I can think of is I would have to re-enable .php extension on the server, then use mod rewrite rules to block it in all instances *except* mycroft.

This is hours of work for me and I like yourself am doing this as a volunteer.

What if put in a server redirect for those specific files?

Would that work?

There are some places where it is much more difficult...

All of the search plugins that have been installed look for updates at eg:
http://mycroft.mozdev.org/updateos.php/id0/mycroft.xml and
http://mycroft.mozdev.org/updateos.php/id0/mycroft.ico

All new installs currently use eg:
http://mycroft.mozdev.org/installos.php/12627/mycroft.xml
http://mycroft.mozdev.org/installos.php/12627/mycroft.ico
It's possible that these could be changed with some work but there are
a number of issues - it's not just a file name change.

Anyone who is linking to search plugins hosted on Mycroft as per:
http://mycroft.mozdev.org/developer/hosting.html will be broken.

I'd be very grateful if you could help make my life easier...
Really would rather avoid major work...

You are right; there probably is, but it likely requires a massive rewrite
and/or audit of mozdev.org code. We don't have the resources for that right
now.

Pete, is it possible to enable .php file execution for selective projects
(e.g., mycroft)?
