cgi-proxy

A simple server to run CGI script. This is useful for adding ad-hoc integration for your environment.

How to run

Create configuration file

create config.yml, for example:

static_key:
- 3009b87324da39e76f60a85fe030b2f8
- 9cd7dd0873172eda537bafe618ec72b4

entry:
- path: /test1
  cmd: ["./cgify.sh", "./test-script.sh", "a", "b"]
- path: /test2
  cmd: ["./cgify.sh", "./test-script.sh", "1", "2"]

static_key is used as username for HTTP Basic credential (with empty password), it is global configuration, credential per script is not supported yet.

Running the server

then run the server

APP_LISTEN=tcp::8080 APP_CONFIG=./config.yaml ./cgi-proxy

you can omit APP_LISTEN and APP_CONFIG environment variable, the default value is :8080 and ./config.yaml.
