Help for Accessory Scripts
Use this form to define accessory script programs to process SEARCH, POST, PUT, or DELETE requests.
Accessory Scripts
You can have accessory script programs for handling SEARCH, POST, PUT, or DELETE requests. The server first matches requests against its resource mapping rules. If the request does not explicitly map to a script program, then the request is processed by the appropriate accessory script.
- Enter the absolute path and file names of the programs you want your server to use as accessory scripts. Enter a name for each method you want to associate with an accessory script.
- SEARCH - the accessory script to process SEARCH requests not explicitly mapped to a program by the resource mapping rules.
- POST - the accessory script to process POST requests not explicitly mapped to a program by the resource mapping rules.
- PUT - the accessory script to process PUT requests not explicitly mapped to a program by the resource mapping rules. Because the PUT method lets clients replace information on your server, you must use protection rules to define who you want to be able to use this method. See the "Protecting Your Server" chapter of the IBM Internet Connection Server User's Guide for information on protection rules.
- DELETE - the accessory script to process DELETE requests not explicitly mapped to a program by the resource mapping rules. Because the DELETE method lets clients delete information from your server, you must use protection rules to define who you want to be able to use this method. See the "Protecting Your Server" chapter of the IBM Internet Connection Server User's Guide for information on protection rules.
- Check the Enable boxes to enable the POST, PUT, and DELETE methods
if you are defining accessory scripts for them. You do not need to enable SEARCH as a method.
