[Fwd: SSI exec]

Hi, 
I had the same problem and the receiver of this forwarded
message too. It is a problem with the current version of
Pi3. Try to solve it in the way suggested in the forwarded
e-mail.

with regards

Yeah,
You're the second person is 1 week to bring up the problem and 
probably the 10th in total. I need to put in some extra things
here. For #exec virtual the file parameter should be treated as an
original URL and parsed accordingly. For #exec file theres more
flexibility perhaps something like

    <!--#exec file="./cgi/counter.exe" QUERY_STRING="main" -->

Where the QUERY_STRING variable is set to "main" for the child
script, just like the script had been accessed by 

	http://localhost/cgi-bin/counter.exe?main

This mechanism could be used to set any number of the environment
variables of the child CGI program. Hmmm.

Got any suggestions on standard ways of solving these problems/
how other web servers allow it?

Then I'll try to release a patch or version 1.0.3 or something with
these fixes.

Later,
John
