Stefano.

Thanks for your answers so far.  And great to hear from you!

Here's the headers and a little more :) below...

There seem to be two problems, but I am trying to stay with one at a time :)

*** Issue 1: my script_alias seems to be ignored.

http://192.168.1.29:8087/
(index.kl1):

and the cgi:

Test 1**  Test fails when web address points to cgi:
http://192.168.1.29:8087/cgi/admin/flash.cgi
  * note below: as script_alias is set to /cgi  /axis-cgi  I assume the 
target directory is referenced as /www/...
    but just to be certain I also put axis_cgi in www/../ (one directory 
below www).  Get same result:

  Not Found

URL: /cgi/admin/flash.cgi

with:

app_http
{
     type            http
     dir_root        /www
     #dir_alias       /cgi/ /axis-cgi/
     #dir_alias       /admin-bin/ /www/admin-bin/
     #dir_alias       /axis-release/ /www/axis-release/
         addr.type       IPv4
         addr.port       8087

}

cgi
{
     script_alias    /cgi  /axis-cgi
         # .pl and .cgi files will be executed as is
         pl.handler          exec
         cgi.handler         exec
}

and:
[root at dev1 klone]# ls webapp/www/axis-cgi/admin/ -ltr
total 280
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 278782 Sep  7 15:43 flash.cgi

*** Issue 2:
When directly pointing to the CGI (It's included in the webapp/www 
directory), the cgi responds but instead of launching at the server's 
commandline it sends the cgi back and therefore presents a save/open dialog.

REQUEST:

GET /axis-cgi/admin/flash.cgi HTTP/1.1

RESPONSE:

278782???

??? is because firefox handles japanese character encoding.

This got me to considering... I did not set the http headers.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

After doing so I get the same response from the CGI.

And why not heap on two more (therefore can legitimately say "he has 
issues"):

***Issue 3: Although I have been around klone for some time (yet not 
active for at least a year until now) I can't seem to figure out if it's 
possible to have an external kloned.conf and still use an internal 
(kloned-compiled) web page and other stuff (webapps/www...).  If 
possible, how does one reference "encapsulated" versus "external" 
files?  I was looking at this as a possible easy way to test the stuff 
above.

*** issue 4:I looked at how klone does mime.  Apparently mime_types is 
built into mime_map.c.

Might be nice to have ability to override with an external file - 
perhaps also referenced via kloned.conf?

I can write this change if you thinks it's worthwhile.
