default directory for cgi-bin's clarification wanted. #129

Open c64skin opened 4 years ago

c64skin commented 4 years ago

hey there, to get cgi-bin scripts such as w3m's own google.cgi in the bonus directory working i have to manually set the cgi-bin directory in the settings.

in my case this is "Directory corresponding to cgi-bin /usr/local/libexec/w3m/cgi-bin"

just copying google.cgi to this directory isn't enough.

i'd like some verification that this is normal behaviour, the manual implies the w3m working directory should be the default.

thanks.

Can you clarify on this, please? I'm not sure what you expected and what exactly is not working.

Been too long and i don't usually run scripts nowadays, but it reads like the default directory for running the cgi-bin scripts did not work out of the box for me. Feel free to close this issue if you want.

Thanks for the quick response. I will have a look.
