[users@httpd] Making apache ready for ruby ajax responder
Hi listers
Sofar, i found out, that an ajax responder cannot be in the cgi-bin
directory, because, apparently, apache from this directory expects other
headers and contents than usual ajax resonders send. That means,
whenever i try to put an ajax responder into the cgi-bin directory, i
get a 500 Internal Server Error reply to an ajax request.
Next i found this: When i put a ruby program into any directory of the
current virtual-web (except into the cgi-bin directory), when i try to
invoke it from the browser, i get the ruby text as response. That is not
what i want.
Next i found this: When i put a php program into any directory of the
current virtual-web (except into the cgi-bin directory) and i invoke it
from the browser via ajax call, it replies as expected. i want to have
this behaviour from a ruby script as well.
Next i found this: When i try to add a handler for ruby scripts in any
directory (except the cgi-bin directory) of the virtual host, like so
<Directory /home/svn/work/test/>
Action application/x-ruby /usr/bin/ruby
AddHandler application/x-ruby .rbx
</Directory>
i get the following, when ivoking the ruby program klixe.rbx in this
directory via ajax call:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Not Found</h1>
<p>The requested URL /usr/bin/ruby/test/klixe.rbx was not found on this
server.</p>
<hr>
<address>Apache/2.2.16 (Fedora) Server at dick.dyn.lan Port 80</address>
</body></html>
which is to say, that apache concatenates the relativ URL of the file i
want to invoke with the handler-path, which certainly does not provide
the response i want.
Where am i wrong? what do i miss?
Thanx for any helpx

I don't think Action is going to work any different than CGI with
respect to expecting valid CGI output.
At the very least: Action's second parameter is a URL path to a the
interpreter, not a filesystem path.
