Problem solved by pathcing the href in the outgoing response.
Mike.

It was either that, or come up with some complex mod_rewrite answer so your users wouldn't see the cgi url but rather the url of some page. I figured just tweaking the links (as long as you knew their style to be consistent) was easiest, even if it's not the "correct" answer.

I have a legacy tree with numerous branches, and many relative links.
I was hoping to get it all with one CGI.

Try putting the cgi in the same directory as the html file

execCGI in that directory?  That's the easy answer.  I
suppose there's
something harder involving mod_rewrite.

But since you're parsing the html anyway, you could rewrite
them on the
fly, too.

Your call.


I wrote a CGI that opens an html file, reads it and sends
it out (with some modification).  Now these files contain
relative links of the form:
  <a href="someFile.html">something</a>
Now when the client clicks on "something", only the relative
paths appear to the CGI, and I cannot open the file.

What should I do?
1. I could carry the last path in a cookie and construct
  the full path.  But this would only work for nodes
  that accept cookies.

2. I could change all the paths to absolute.  Much much
  work.

Any better suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
Mike.
