HTTP Papers and Server Infos

What would be the world-wide-web without it's hundred thousands of servers providing the documents, images and all other stuff on demand, the HTTP-daemons.

HTTP 2. Apache: Features

404.html

To make write your own 404-File Not Found page just put this line into your root .htaccess:  ErrorDocument 404 /404.html  Within your 404.html make sure you put <base href="..."> at the beginning in case you reference pictures in your 404.html and you want them to be referenced properly.

Make CGI as Dir

access.conf:  <Directory />   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI   AllowOverride None   </Directory>      AllowOverride AuthConfig      <Location /Members>   SetHandler cgi-script   order allow,deny   allow from all   </Location>  /Member is a cgi (perl), for the users or search-engines it will look like it's a directory: http://yourserver.com/Members/SomeMore/Dirs/test.html within the CGI you have PATH_INFO environment-variable "/SomeMore/Dirs/test.html" then. In case you like to have / (root) of the web-server wrapped through a CGI or perl-script then use http.conf:  DocumentRoot /your/path/html/my-script   <Location />   SetHandler perl-script   PerlHandler Apache::PerlRun   Options +ExecCGI   PerlSendHeader On   </Location>  Assuming you have mod_perl compiled with apache. The start-up may complain that my-script is not existant, but that's not true, as apache expects a directory, but you provide a script for it.

Inline Perl

Since mod_perl was released several packages where written to provide embedded or inline perl: PowerPerl Inline perl using <script language="PerlScript"> tags Embperl: Embed Perl in HTML Embedded perl within HTML using [- and -] as tags ePerl Alike package, uses <? and !> as tags InlinePerlPages Our developed package, uses #perl and #/perl as control tags
