Is it possible to run a C program from within a web server (like CGI) or otherwise incorporate the execution of outside C code into the web browser?
|
| Solution |
Following is an excerpt from our Slinger web-server help files:
HTTPD_SCRIPTALIAS
Configure CGI scripts. It contains the directory name where Slinger looks for the CGI
executables. Note that if you define HTTPD_SCRIPTALIAS, anybody can run scripts or
processes that reside in this directory on your machine. Not defining
HTTPD_SCRIPTALIAS turns CGI off, causing all CGI requests to fail.
We recommend that you put your documents and scripts in separate directories. In this
example, the documents are in the /usr/webdoc directory, the root document is foo.html,
and the CGI scripts are in /usr/web/cgi.
export HTTPD_ROOT_DIR=/usr/webdoc |
