cgi-dir is not working if its a subfolder within the staticdir

[rexxitall]

I have a project which looks roughtly like this:

/PAGE
/PAGE/htm
/PAGE/js
...

/PAGE/cgi-bin

if i define
websocketd.exe --port=8010 --cgidir=c:\wamp64\www\PAGE\cgi-bin --staticdir=c:\wamp64\www\PAGE
the cgi scripts will be delivered as plain text (their source code)

i got it working by definig it like this:

websocketd.exe --port=8010 --cgidir=c:\wamp64\www\PAGE\cgi-bin --staticdir=c:\wamp64\www\PAGE\htm
but this should be considered as hack
it also deliver c:\wamp64\www\PAGE\js ...
Well in my case i might be lucky by this but i guess no admin would be happy with it.

cgi folder should also work if they are within a page root folder.

And please make cgi scripts also work by their extension or a valid shebang.
To call vbs-cgi by a cmd wrapper is how to say "ugly".

I would also say thanks for this nice piece of software.
it can make a monster like electron completely obsolete.
Just start the browser in a mode without GUI and write a few small (cgi) scripts for interactions with the filesystem
wrap a starter bat around and save 100 MB of useless electron bullshit :)

That is how i use it :)

So, thanks again for it :)

How did you make the "cmd wrapper"?
All my attempts to use cmd or powershell on Win11 failed.

I tried a GitBash shell script, I tried a .bat file and a .ps1 file. I have no easy way to make an .exe

do yourselves a favor and run a virtual machine with any unix/linux type OS. You'd be better off with that in the long run as i can tell you are not bound by 'requirements' of a jobsite. Otherwise you wouldnt be asking such questions or having such issues.
