[cgiwrap-users] Help:) CGIWRAP With non-standard extensions.

[Nick D. -- US C. -- N. LLC. <ce...@no...>]

Ok here is the deal I own a cobalt, a raq4i, and have been reprogramming
these babies for weeks now.  Yesterday I went to conquer the cgi wrap
and standard cgi.  We have always given our users a choice of using
either one.  The way it is setup on our old servers is .cgi and .pl
along with anything in the cgi-bin are standard cgi.  Then anything with
.scgi or .spl or that are in the scgi-bin are ran wrapped.  Well after
quite a bit of hacking, some rewrite rules, and a mis-use of the case
sensitivity I was able to get the scgi-bin to work.   But here is my
problem.  If any extension other then .pl or .cgi is associated with the
cgi wrapper (or if the script is in the scgi-bin with a non-default
extension)  then it doesn't work.  It does try and run it with cgi
wrapper since I get a pretty cgi-wrapper error page and it says Script
Not Found.  This is quite weird since the path it gives to the script it
correct.  Anyway I downloaded the binary of cgi wrap off my cobalt to
see if I could find anything and sure enough in there it referenced .pl
and .cgi and through some hex editing I was able to change the extension
to something else but as you may or may not know in binary you cant
really add to the file without corrupting it.  Anyway so this didn't
truly solve my problem.   So then I asked the owner and he said cobalts
were a mess and he didn't support them so I installed his version but he
said on cobalt it was impossible for whatever reason to get the user to
run the scripts on from the file permissions it had to get it from the
url like whatever/cgiwrap/user  which I didn't like.  So what im here to
ask is either:

A) How to convert my cobalt version to work with all file extensions not
just .pl or .cgi
 
Or
 
B)  How to get his version to work but not need to get the login for the
url but rather who owns the file:-)
