[MP2] Setting ExecCGI in a TransHandler

[Torsten Foertsch <to...@gmx.net>]

Hi,

what is the canonical way to change "Options" from a handler?

Apache2::Access::allow_options is read-only. Various attempts with 
$r->add_config in the uri translation and header parser phases failed:

$r->add_config([q{Options +ExecCGI}]): $r->add_config() has failed: Options 
not allowed here

I have now written a little C-level module but is that the way?

I don't think so, as Options is private to httpd

yes, that makes sense.

note to all: add_config() is .htaccess-style insertion into the config
process, governed by the same rules as an .htaccess file.  so, if you're
using it to add directives that are limited in scope look out :)

probably.  there are a few examples of how to do this via xs for mp1, of
which this

is one
