Using an SSI directive to include a cgi script works under Apache but fails under Tomcat because the query arguments are not being handled the same way. Under Tomcat 5.5.4, the query args are being searched for as if they were part of the filename. [I made a previous post on this subject but was then reporting the behavior under Tomcat 4.0.24, which also fails, but somewhat differently.]
More details are below. I would be happy to test a patch class (I'd need directions for where to put the patch class and how to configure the class loader to find it). --Brian
In this log/backtrace, you can see that the CGI jar is trying to find the file:
navTool.pl?REF+GENERAL+WHATIS
This file doesn't exist. On our systems, navTool.pl exists and is in WEB-INF/cgi/, and is expecting some query args. [Note: by the default configuration, /cgi-bin/ is "rewritten" as WEB-INF/cgi/ when the cgi jar actually searches for the script, so both paths appear in the log/backtrace below.]

To reproduce this problem, all you need is a web app with a .shtml file containing the line
<!-- #include virtual="/cgi-bin/echoargs.pl?some_args" -->
and a perl script WEB-INF/cgi/echoargs.pl containing the lines:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
my $query_args = $ENV{QUERY_STRING};
if (defined($query_args)) {
print "query string is<br>\n";
print "$query_args<br>\n";
} else {
print "query string is undefined<br>\n";
}
