[users@httpd] Displaying Scripts as text?
I have some home grown perl scrips that I would like to easily display as
text, so people can copy the contents of the scripts. Is there an easy way to
enable this in one directory only, and allowing normal execution in others?
If I disable Exec CGI for the direcotry in quetsion, rather than seeing the
script I get a permision denied with the following error:
Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /var/www/html/perl/

Kind Regards,

You'll also need to "RemoveHandler .cgi .pl":
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_mime.html#removehandler
and possibly set an apporpriate content-type "ForceType text/plain":
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#forcetype
Also note that some nasty features of MSIE make it almost impossible to
reliably deliver text/plain content:
