Exported Type Names


	type Handler (struct)
		Handler runs an executable in a subprocess with a CGI environment.

		
			
				// optional arguments to pass to child process

			
				Dir specifies the CGI executable's working directory.
				If Dir is empty, the base directory of Path is used.
				If Path has no base directory, the current working
				directory is used.

			
				// extra environment variables to set, if any, as "key=value"

			
				// environment variables to inherit from host, as "key"

			
				// optional log for errors or nil to use log.Print

			
				// path to the CGI executable

			
				PathLocationHandler specifies the root http Handler that
				should handle internal redirects when the CGI process
				returns a Location header value starting with a "/", as
				specified in RFC 3875 ยง 6.3.2. This will likely be
				http.DefaultServeMux.

				If nil, a CGI response with a local URI path is instead sent
				back to the client and not redirected internally.

			
				// root URI prefix of handler or empty for "/"

			
				// optional stderr for the child process; nil means os.Stderr
