11 # A HTTPd "connector" for running CGI scripts on unix systems as WWW
12 # accessible Web sites. The servlet starts a true HTTP daemon that channels
13 # HTTP requests to forked daughter processes. CGIservlet.pl is NOT a
14 # full fledged server. Moreover, this servlet is definitely NOT intended
15 # as a replacement of a real server (e.g., Apache). It's design goal was
16 # SIMPLICITY, and not mileage.
18 # Note that a HTTP server can be accessed on your local machine WITHOUT
19 # internet access (but WITH a DNS?):
20 # use "http://localhost[:port]/[path]" or "http://127.0.0.1[:port]/[path]"
21 # as the URL. It is also easy to restrict access to the servlet to localhost
22 # users (i.e., the computer running the servlet).
25 # - A testbed for CGI-scripts and document-trees outside the primary server.
26 # When developing new scripts and services, you don't want to mess up your
27 # current Web-site. CGIservlet is an easy way to start a temporary (private)
28 # server. CGIservlet allows to test separate HTTP server components, e.g.,
29 # user authentication, in isolation.
31 # - A special purpose temporary server (WWW everywhere/anytime).
32 # We run identification and other experiments over the inter-/intra-net using
33 # CGI-scripts. This means a lot of development and changes and only little
34 # actual run-time. The people doing this do not want "scripting" access to our
35 # departmental server with all its restrictions and security. So we need a
36 # small, lightweigth, easy-to-configure server that can be run by each
37 # investigator on her own account (and risk).
39 # - Interactive WWW presentations.
40 # Not everyone is content with the features of "standard" office presentation
41 # software. HTML and its associated browsers are an alternative (especially
42 # under Linux). However, you need a server to realize the full interactive
43 # nature of the WWW. CGIservlet with the necessary scripts can be run from
44 # a floppie (a Web server in 100 kB). The CGIservlet can actually run a
45 # (small) web site from RAM, without disk access (if you DO NOT use the
46 # 2>pid.log redirection on startup).
47 # With the "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" id in your browser you can use the
50 # When the servlet is started with the -r option, only requests from "localhost"
51 # or "127.0.0.1" are accepted (default) or from addresses indicated after the

60 # Changes (document ALL changes with date, name and email here):
62 # 05 Apr 2013 - Renamed COOKIE_JAR into HTTP_COOKIE
63 # 28 Mar 2013 - Version 1.4.
64 # 18 Jun 2012 - Added --env, %UserEnv user defined ENV variables. Freeze %ENV.
65 # 06 Jun 2012 - Added HTTP Cookie string to an Environment variable: COOKIE_JAR
66 # 29 May 2012 - Added .log -> / to @RegAliasTranslation, blocks attempts to read

70 # 21 May 2012 - Inserted the -m[emory] switch for loading and serving from RAM.
71 # The option was mentioned in the manual, but the cli switch was
73 # 22 Jul 2003 - Plain output using binary print io. `cat ...`
74 # 22 Jul 2003 - Added 'use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);' line
75 # for debugging. Standard this is commented out
76 # for security reasons (suggested by Jochen_Hayek@ACM.org).
77 # 22 Jul 2003 - Added error checking to doarg (suggested by Jochen_Hayek@ACM.org)
78 # 22 Jul 2003 - Removed SERVER_PORT from HTTP_HOST (Bug found by Jochen_Hayek@ACM.org)
79 # 22 Jul 2003 - Updated documentation. Added CGIservlet directory
80 # to the search path of CGIservletSETUP.pl
81 # 20 May 2003 - Made sure recycled (double) pid's do not mess up the
82 # @brood list and added a --help switch.
83 # 20 May 2003 - Added a maximum running time for child processes
84 # with command line switch -xterm.
85 # 15 Jan 2002 - Version 1.3
86 # 19 Oct 2001 - Included browsing of directories and a new -s
87 # security switch. With security toggled of
88 # directories can be browsed and all mime-types
89 # are served, either as 'text/plain' or as
90 # 'application/octed-stream'.
91 # 18 May 2001 - Added some HTTP HTTP lines.
92 # 13 Jun 2000 - Included the possibility to add POST request
93 # to GET query-strings (and change the request
94 # method). The -l ($Maxlength) maximum length
95 # option now covers POST requests too.
96 # 8 Dec 1999 - Included hooks for compression when running from RAM.
97 # 2 Dec 1999 - Autoflush enabled.
98 # 2 Dec 1999 - Allow running a Web Site from RAM.
99 # 2 Dec 1999 - Changed the behavior of CGIservletSETUP. CGIservlet
100 # will eval ALL setup files, the one in the CGIscriptor
101 # subdirectory (if any) AND the one in the current
102 # directory. (also added a close(SETUP) command)
103 # 26 Nov 1999 - Added some minimal security for 'automatic', out of
104 # the box installation.
105 # 26 Nov 1999 - Made the text/osshell mime-type functional (i.e.,
106 # without any scripts, implement a dynamic web server)
107 # Linited to '.cgi' extension.
108 # 26 Nov 1999 - Added aliasing of URL paths, both one-to-one lookups
109 # and full regular expression, i.e., $Path =~ s/.../.../g
111 # 28 Sep 1999 - Made all client supplied HTTP parameter names lowercase
112 # to handle inconsistencies in case use.
113 # 29 Jul 1999 - Allowed for a SETUP configuration file 'CGIservletSETUP.pl'.
114 # Use $beginarg from the 'CGIscriptor/' directory if it exists.

232 # ###############################################################################
234 # There are many switches to tailor the workings of CGIservlet.pl.
235 # Some are fairly esoteric and you should only look for them if you
236 # need something special urgently. When building a Web site,
237 # the specific options you need will "suggest" themselves (e.g., port
238 # number, script, or server-root directory). Most default settings
241 # You can add your own configuration in a file called
242 # 'CGIservletSETUP.pl'. This file will be executed ("eval"-ed)
243 # after the default setup, but before the command line options take
244 # effect. CGIservlet looks for the SETUP file in the startup directory
245 # and in the CGIscriptor subdirectory.
246 # (Note that the $beginarg variable is evaluated AFTER the setup file).
248 # In any case, it is best to change the default settings instead of
249 # using the option switches. All defaults are put in a single block.
251 # switches and arguments:
253 # -p[ort] port number
254 # For example -p 2345
255 # Obviously the port CGIservlet listenes to. Suggested Default: -p 8008
257 # -a[lias] Alias1 RealURL1 ...
258 # For example -a '/Stimulus.aifc' '/catAIFC.xmr'
259 # Replaces the given Alias URL path by its real URL path. Accepts full
260 # regular expressions too (identified by NON-URL characters).
261 # That is, on each request it performs (in order):
262 # if($AliasTranslation{$Path})
264 # $Path = $AliasTranslation{$Path};
266 # elsif(@RegAliasTranslation)
269 # for($i=0; $i<scalar(@RegAliasTranslation); ++$i)
271 # my $Alias = $RegAliasTranslation[$i];
272 # my $RealURL = $RegURLTranslation[$i];
273 # last if ($Path =~ s#$Alias#$RealURL#g);
276 # The effects can be quite drastic, so be
277 # carefull. Note also, that entering many Regular Expression
278 # aliases could slow down your servlet. Checking stops after
280 # Full regular expression alias translations are done in the
281 # order given! They are recognized as Aliases containing
282 # regexp's (i.e., non-URL) operator characters like '^' and
284 # Note: The command line is NOT a good place for entering
285 # Aliases, change the code below or add aliases to
286 # CGIservletSETUP.pl.
292 # -b[egin] perl commands
293 # For example -b 'require "CGIscriptor.pl";' or
294 # 'require "/WWW/cgi-bin/XMLelement.pl";'
295 # Perl commands evaluated at server startup
297 # -d[o] perl script file
298 # For example -d '/WWW/cgi-bin/CGIscriptor.pl'
299 # The actual CGI-script started as a perl {do "scriptfile"} command.
300 # The PATH_INFO and the QUERY are pushed on @ARGV.
304 # -exec shell command
305 # OS shell script or command, e.g., -x 'CGIscriptor.pl' or
306 # -x '/WWW/cgi-bin/my-script'
307 # The actual CGI-script started as `my-script \'$Path\' \'$QueryString\'`.
308 # -qx and -exec[ute] are aliases of -x. For security reasons, Paths or
309 # queries containing '-quotes are rejected.
311 # -e[val] perl commands
312 # For example -e 'Handle_Request();'
313 # The argument is evaluated as perl code. The actual CGI-script
314 # can be loaded once with -b 'require module.pm' and you only have to
315 # call the central function(s).
319 # For example -t "$PWD" or -t "/WWW/documents"
320 # The root of the server hierachy. Defaults to the working directory
321 # at startup time (`pwd`)
323 # -w[elcome] filepath
324 # For example -w "/index.html" (default)
325 # The default welcome page used when no path is entered. Note that
326 # this path can point to anything (or nothing real at all).
329 # The following arguments supply some rudimentary security. It is the
330 # responsibility of the script to ensure that the requests are indeed
333 # -c[hildren] maximum child processes
335 # The maximum number of subprocesses started. If there are more requests,
336 # the oldest requests are "killed". This should take care of "zombie"
337 # processes and server overloading. Note that new requests will be
338 # serviced irrespective of the success of killing it's older siblings.
340 # -xtime maximum running time of a child
341 # For example -xtime 36000
342 # The maximum time a child may run in seconds. After a new request has
343 # been servised, all children that have run for longer than this time
344 # will be killed. This stops runaway processes, often connected to
347 # -l[ength] maximum length of HTTP request in bytes
348 # For example -l 32768
349 # This prevents overloading the server with enormous queries. Reading of
350 # requests simply stops when this limit is reached. This DOES affect
351 # POST requests. If the combined length of the COMPLETE HTTP request,
352 # including headers, exceeds this limit, the whole request is dropped.
354 # -r[estrict] [Remote-address [Remote-host]]
355 # For example -r 127.0.0.1 (default of -r)
356 # A space separated list of client IP addresses and/or domain names that
357 # should be serviced. Default, i.e., '-r' without any addresses or domain
358 # names, is the localhost IP address '127.0.0.1'.
359 # When using CGIservlet for local purposes only (e.g., development or a
360 # presentation), it would be unsafe to allow others to access the servlet.
361 # If -r is used (or the corresponding @RemoteAddr or @RemoteHost lists are
362 # filled in the code below), all requests from clients whose Remote-address
363 # or Remote-host do not match the indicated addresses will be rejected.
364 # Partial addresses and domain names are allowed. Matching is done according
365 # to Remote-addr =~ /^\Q$pattern\E/ (front to back) and
366 # Remote-host =~ /\Q$pattern\E$/ (back to front)
368 # --env name=value,name=value
369 # Watch double dash. Define $ENV{name}=value for every pair. These are
370 # internally stored in %UserEnv, eg, $UserEnv{name}=value; This is set anew
371 # in the Child with every request. That is, Changes in %ENV are not stored.
375 # A toggle switch that blocks all access to files with undefined
376 # mime-types (or to serve ascii files as "text/plain"), and blocking directory
377 # browsing. Defaults to blocking what is not explicitely allowed.
381 # Reads complete Web site into memory and runs from this image.
382 # Set $UseRAMimage = 1; to activate memory-only running.
383 # Under certain circumstance, this can improve security.
384 # Note, however, that running osshellscripts from this image
385 # makes any "security" related claims very shaky.
390 # Retrieving the domain name of the Client (i.e., Remote-host) is a
391 # very slow process and normally useless. To skip it, enter this
392 # option. Note that you cannot use '-r Remote-host' anymore after
393 # you enter -n, only IP addresses will work.
395 # Configuration with the CGIservletSETUP.pl file
397 # You can add your own configuration in a file
398 # called 'CGIservletSETUP.pl'. This file will be executed ("eval"-ed)
399 # after the default setup, but before the command line options take
400 # effect. CGIservlet looks for the SETUP file in the startup directory
401 # and in the CGIservlet and CGIscriptor subdirectories.
402 # (Note that the $beginarg variable is evaluated even later).
404 # Changing POST to GET requests
406 # CGIservlet normally only handles requests with the GET method. Processing
407 # the input from POST requests is left to the reading application. POST
408 # requests add some extra complexity to processing requests. Sometimes,
409 # the reading application doesn't handle POST requests. CGIservlet
410 # already has to manage the HTTP request. Therefore, it can easily
411 # handle the POST request. If the variable $POSTtoGET is set to any
412 # non-false value, the content of whole POST request is added to the
413 # QUERY_STRING environment variable (preceeded by a '&' if necessary).
414 # The content-length is set to 0. If $POSTtoGET equals 'GET', the method
415 # will also be changed to 'GET'.
418 # All of the arguments of -d, -e, and -x are processed sequentially
419 # in this order. This might not be what you want so you should be
420 # carefull when using multiple executable arguments.
421 # If none of the executable arguments is DEFINED (i.e., they are entered
422 # as -d '' -e '' -x ''), each request is treated as a simple
423 # text-retrieval. THIS CAN BE A SECURITY RISK!
425 # The wiring of an interactive web-server, which also calls shell
426 # scripts with the extension '.cgi', is in place. You can
427 # "activate" it by changing the "my $ExecuteOSshell = 0;" line to
428 # "my $ExecuteOSshell = 1;".
429 # If you have trouble doing this, it might be a good idea
430 # to reconsider using a dynamic web server. Executing shell
431 # scripts inside a web server is a rather dangerous practise.
433 # CGIservlet can run its "standard" web server from memory.
434 # At startup, all files are read into a hash table. Upon
435 # request, the contents of the file are placed in the
436 # environment variable: CGI_FILE_CONTENTS.
437 # No further disk access is necessary. This means that:
438 # 1 CGIservlet can run a WWW site from a removable disk,
440 # 2 The web servlet can run without any read or write privilege.
441 # 3 The integrity of the Web-site contents can be secured at the
444 # To compres the memory (RAM) immage, you should hook the
445 # compression function to
446 # $CompressRAMimage = sub { return shift;};

1341 CGIservlet - a HTTPd "connector" for running CGI scripts on unix systems as WWW
1342 accessible Web sites.
1346 The servlet starts a true HTTP daemon that channels
1347 HTTP requests to forked daughter processes. Can run
1348 a (small) WWW-site from memory.
1352 Whenever an HTTP request is received, the specified CGI script is
1353 started inside a child process as if it was inside a real server (e.g.,
1354 Apache). The evironment variables are set more or less as in Apache.
1355 Note that CGIservlet only uses a SINGLE script for ALL requests.
1356 No attemps for security are made, it is the script's responsibility to
1357 check access rights and the validity of the request.
1358 Can store the files of Web site in memory and serve them
