<p>This module has two directives. The <a href="#action" class="directive"><code class="directive">Action</code></a> directive lets you run CGI
scripts whenever a file of a certain type is requested. The
<a href="#script" class="directive"><code class="directive">Script</code></a> directive lets
you run CGI scripts whenever a particular method is used in a
request. This makes it much easier to execute scripts that process
files.</p>

<p>This directive adds an action, which will activate
<em>cgi-script</em> when <em>action-type</em> is triggered by the
request. The <em>cgi-script</em> is the URL-path to a resource
that has been designated as a CGI script using <a href="/mod/mod_alias.html#scriptalias" class="directive"><code class="directive">ScriptAlias</code></a> or <a href="/mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler" class="directive"><code class="directive">AddHandler</code></a>. The
sends the URL and file path of the requested document using the
standard CGI PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED environment
variables.</p>

<p>This directive adds an action, which will activate
<em>cgi-script</em> when a file is requested using the method of
<em>method</em>. The <em>cgi-script</em> is the URL-path to a
resource that has been designated as a CGI script using <a href="/mod/mod_alias.html#scriptaliase" class="directive"><code class="directive">ScriptAliase</code></a> or <a href="/mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler" class="directive"><code class="directive">AddHandler</code></a>. The URL and
file path of the requested document is sent using the standard CGI
PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED environment variables.</p>
<blockquote><table><tr><td bgcolor="#e0e5f5">
Any arbitrary method name may be used. <strong>Method names are
case-sensitive</strong>, so <code>Script PUT</code> and
<code>Script put</code> have two entirely different
effects.
</td></tr></table></blockquote>
<p>Note that the Script command defines default actions only.
If a CGI script is called, or some other resource that is
capable of handling the requested method internally, it will do
so. Also note that Script with a method of <code>GET</code>
will only be called if there are query arguments present
proceed normally.</p>
