[users@httpd] Secure CGI implementation
If the cgi-bin is placed outside the DocumentRoot and a script creates an
html page to be served to the public, how does this work?
Best Wishes!

If your script is actually creating an HTML document, it should put that
document in a document directory. If, on the other hand, it is merely
outputting HTML content, this is sent directly to the browser, and there
is never an actual disk file created.
OK, Got it; it's up to the script to give directions as to where created
.html documents are stored. Thanks!
Best Wishes!
