NCSA server directives

Server scripts are identified by the ScriptAlias directive, which is only recognized in the server resource configuration file.  

ScriptAlias initial-substring replacement

If the initial substring of the path part of a URL matches the initial substring given in the directive, the URL identifies a script and the initial substring is replaced with the contents of replacement. The following part of the URL, up to the next forward slash, gives the program name, and the remainder is passed to the program as extra information in the PATH_INFO environment variable, according to the CGI specification.
Analogous to the CERN Exec directive.
