Subject: Re: Clean URLs with Camping and Apache

Thanks _why!  I got it working.  However... this is all well and good
if we have access to the server/v-host config, but what if we're on a
shared host and only have .htaccess overrides (albeit very thorough
ones)?  If there is a /cgi-bin already defined, then some symlink
voodoo could work, but what if there's no ScriptAlias directive
whatsoever?

Thanks again.

Max
