Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP9 Programmer's Guide

Specifying CGI File Extensions

Use the CGI File Type page in the Programs tab of the Class Manager to instruct the server to treat all files with certain extensions as CGI programs, regardless of which directory they reside in. The default CGI extensions are .cgi, .bat, and.exe.

To change which extensions indicate CGI programs, modify the following line in the mime.types file to specify the desired extensions. Be sure to restart the server after editing mime.types.

type=magnus-internal/cgi exts=cgi,exe,bat

When the server is enabled to treat all files with appropriate extensions as CGI programs, the obj.conf file contains the following Service directive:

Service fn="send-cgi" type="magnus-internal/cgi"
