Re^2: Viewing .dat files

ikegami :

 ...
 ForceType text/plain
 ...

Such solutions won't work if the document root
is away from the script path. There won't be any
allowed accesses into /cgi-bin/ without extra configuration
(which you don't really want to do this way).

You won't get around sth. in the lines of this: Re: Viewing .dat files

If `ScriptAlias` causes problems with `ForceType`, a more sensible solution would be to put the `.dat` in another directory rather than breaking caching, HEAD requests, conditional requests, partial requests, etc by reimplementing the wheel. I particularly like how your script checks if a file exists but returns `200 OK` either way.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
