Topic: execute script when GET request come on Apache

[rupesh chandurkar]

Hi All,
if any GET request are coming on Apache I want execute my "try.pl". I used "Script" directive for execute script "Script GET /cgi-bin/try.pl".

I access this web sites but my perl script is not execute.

My configuration file is

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin server-alerts@qlc.in
DocumentRoot /web/domainname/htdocs
ServerName domainname
ServerAlias www.domainname domainname
LogFormat "%h|%l|%u|%t|\"%r\"|%s|%b|\"%{Referer}i\"|\"%{User-Agent}i\"|%v"
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html index.phtml index.phtm index.php3 index.php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php .inc
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htx
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/qerror_log
TransferLog /var/log/httpd/access_log
ScriptLog /var/log/httpd/cgi_errors_logs
ForensicLog /var/log/httpd/ForensicLog_logs
<Directory "/web/domainname/htdocs">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Script GET /cgi-bin/try.pl
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /web/domainname/htdocs/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>

my perl script "try.pl"
=================================================
#!/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(M_GET);
use Output::Cmd;

my $logfile = "/tmp/try.log";
my $u = Output::Cmd->new('verbose' => 1, 'log' => $logfile);

my $r = shift;

$u->print("request: $r");
1;
====================================================

Why my script is not execute using "Script" directive. how i can debug

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_actions.html#script

Thanks in advance .....

Per docs;

Also note that Script with a method of GET will only be called if there are query arguments present (e.g., foo.html?hi). Otherwise, the request will proceed normally.

So most GET requests will not have any action taken since they do not contain any query arguments.

Thanks for rely glsmith,

Can you please give me one example of "query arguments"
for my understanding.

eg. Test page with code for GET request
