The lack of both 'ftp' and 'telnet' support in a mapfile is an oversight
on my part. I'll attempt to get some time to sit down to this today and
send along a patch as soon as I have something.

BTW - The 'base_uri' field is unnecessary in your example since all of
your URLs are "absolute" as opposed to "relative". A URL not beginning
with "http:" or "/" would get the Referer: header information prepended
to the URL in the map.

As for your problems executing CGI scripts, I did not see the following
line in your srm.conf file.

AddType application/x-httpd-cgi cgi

Assuming you are using the ScriptAliased directories to execute your
scripts, can you tell us more about how they fail?
