[users@httpd] "Script GET /cgi-bin/foo" doesn't apply to all GET requests
The documentation at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_actions.html#script
says that "Script with a method of GET will only be called if there are query arguments present." Is there any way to work around this limitation? I would like a GET request for e.g.
http://example.com/user/foo
to be passed through to the specified CGI script irrespective of whether query arguments are present or not.

I didn't mention this in my original email, but I would like to call
different scripts depending on the method. e.g. GET.php for GET,
PUT.php for PUT.

Just don't use the Script directive then.
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
<Directory /var/www/cgi-bin>
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
will allow any file within that directory to be executed as a CGI
script, no matter the method or the arguments.
Just make sure that what you put there is safe.
