+ <h2>Summary</h2>
+
+ <p>This module has two directives. The Action directive lets
+ you run CGI scripts whenever a file of a certain type is
+ requested. The Script 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>

+ available in Apache 1.1 and later</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 <i>cgi-script</i> is the URL-path to a resource that
+ has been configured as a CGI script using <code>ScriptAlias</code>
+ or <code>AddHandler</code>. The <em>action-type</em> can be either
+ a <a href="../handler.html">handler</a> or a MIME content type. It
+ sends the URL and file path of the requested document using the
+ standard CGI PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED environment
+ variables.</p>
+
+ <p>Examples:</p>
+ <pre>
+ # Requests for files of a particular type:
+ Action image/gif /cgi-bin/images.cgi
+
+ # Files of a particular file extension
+ AddHandler my-file-type .xyz
+ Action my-file-type /cgi-bin/program.cgi
+ </pre>
+
+ <p>In the first example, requests for files with a MIME content
+ type of <code>image/gif</code> will instead be handled by the
+ specified cgi script <code>/cgi-bin/images.cgi</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>In the second example, requests for files with a file extension of
+ <code>.xyz</code> are handled instead by the specified cgi script
+ <code>/cgi-bin/program.cgi</code>.</p>

+
+ <p>This directive adds an action, which will activate
+ <i>cgi-script</i> when a file is requested using the method of
+ <i>method</i>. The <i>cgi-script</i> is the URL-path to a resource
+ that has been configured as a CGI script using
+ <code>ScriptAlias</code> or <code>AddHandler</code>. The URL and
+ file path of the requested document is sent using the standard CGI
+ PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED environment variables.</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ Prior to Apache 1.3.10, <i>method</i> can only be one of
+ <code>GET</code>, <code>POST</code>, <code>PUT</code>, or
+ <code>DELETE</code>. As of 1.3.10, any arbitrary method name
+ may be used. <b>Method names are case-sensitive</b>, so
+ <code>Script&nbsp;PUT</code> and <code>Script&nbsp;put</code>
+ have two entirely different effects.
+ </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
+ (<em>e.g.</em>, foo.html?hi). Otherwise, the request will
+ proceed normally.</p>
+
+ <p>Examples:</p>
+<pre>
+ # For &lt;ISINDEX&gt;-style searching
+ Script GET /cgi-bin/search
+ # A CGI PUT handler
+ Script PUT /~bob/put.cgi
+</pre>
