Kevan Miller updated GERONIMO-4200:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: cgi-bin.war

The attached war file seems to enable cgi-bin support using Tomcat's CGIServlet class. CGIServlet does not support absolute file urls (only files relative to the war). So, it's not easy to have a cgi-bin directory in the root of your Geronimo installation. It would be relatively easy to update CGIServlet to support absolute file addressing (or at least relative to a Geronimo installation).

If you want to use cgi-bin in your Geronimo installation, try the following:

{code}
cd $GERONIMO_HOME
mkdir cgi-bin
cd cgi-bin
jar xvf <path-to-war>/cgi-bin.war
../bin/deploy.sh deploy --inPlace .
{code}

Place your executables in the cgi-bin directory. Note that this is less than ideal in that you have the WEB-INF deployment plan/deployment descriptor in your cgi-bin directory.

> A user asked about enabling cgi-bin support in Geronimo. Would be nice if we had Jetty/Tomcat plugins to enable this support.
