<h1 align="CENTER">Module mod_actions</h1>
<p>This module provides for executing CGI scripts based on
media type or request method.</p>

<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>

<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 PUT</code> and <code>Script 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 <ISINDEX>-style searching
Script GET /cgi-bin/search
# A CGI PUT handler
Script PUT /~bob/put.cgi
</pre>
