Try using the real Tomcat documentation rather than some random Google
result that doesn't even bother to mention which version of Tomcat it
was written for (hint: it wasn't written for Tomcat 7).

Given how you have configured Tomcat, the behaviour you are seeing is
exactly as expected. If you want your script to work with the minimum of
changes you need to:
- Make your web application privileged
- Use <action='./read_toggle.cgi'>
