(OT) (NPH script) Getting HTTP_CGI

Gangabass has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, monks!

How can I get HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION from NPH script without editing Apache conf?

This is because I can't add this rule to config (I have no rights to edit Apache conf):

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1]

Thanx for your replies

I don't know what your permissions are, but two things came to mind when I read your question. First, there's a program that might offer a workaround. It's cgiwrap. See: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cgiwrap/ Second, read the URL Rewriting Guide on the Apache website. See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/misc/rewriteguide.html Also, check the CGI pod on using NPH scripts: http://search.cpan.org/~lds/CGI.pm-3.20/CGI.pm	[reply]

Even if you don't have permission to edit `httpd.conf`, you might be able to create a `.htaccess` file to achieve the same effect. -- sgifford's Web page	[reply]
