This directive adds an action, which will activate <EM>cgi-script</EM> when
a file is requested using the method of <EM>method</EM>, which can be
one of <CODE>GET</CODE>, <CODE>POST</CODE>, <CODE>PUT</CODE> or
<CODE>DELETE</CODE>. It sends the
URL and file path of the requested document using the standard
CGI PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED environment variables.

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
