Does anybody here know how port these links to Nginx?
<VirtualHost *:80>
ScriptAlias /bin/ "/whatever/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/whatever/cgi-bin">
WSGIAccessScript /whatever/access.wsgi
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
They basically say that some URLs /whatever/cgi-bin point to legacy cgi-bin
scripts but before executing the scripts it should pass the environment
vars and the header info to the access.wsgi python script to ask for access
permission. This allows me to have a web2py app that links the legacy
scripts and because on the same domain, the client passes the session
cookie, the access.wsgi code retrieves the session cookie and check
permissions.
The script looks like this:
def allow_access(environ,host):
# get credentials from environ, ask web2py is user is authorized and
return true/false
I am happy to rewrite the script but the question is whether nginx provides
an equivalent mechanism. I cannot find one.
