1 It seems to me that when I setup .cgi and .pl via an addhandler
2 statement such as:
3
4 AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
5
6 apache will try to execute anything containing .pl or .cgi.
7
8 If i have a file, foo.pl for example.
9 http://localhost/foo.pl will execute (good)
10 now if I move it to foo.txt
11 http://localhost/foo.txt will show me the contents of the file (good)
12 now if I move it to foo.pl.txt
13 http://localhost/foo.pl.txt will try to execute it, as it will if i
14 canme it foo.cgi.txt.
15 calling it foo.php.txt will still print it out, but the new lines are
16 stripped etc, it looks like it's been run through and spat out php.
17
18 Is this intended behaviour? It kind of seems like something gone wrong.
19
20 Thanks,
