Domino server internet rule "HTTP response headers"

When creating a "HTTP response headers" rule on a Domino server there is an option for "Customer Header". The description of this field says: 

(HTTP Response Header only) For each custom header you want to use, specify:

"Name" - files in the directory are displayed in the browser or downloaded.    
"Value" - files in the directory are CGI files to be executed on the server.    
"Override" -  (override application's header)

In the "Value" field it says something about CGI, so my question is:

Is it possible to add some CGI variable or script in this value field or do it only accepts pure strings?

Solution

  • The code will be served AS TEXT by the server, the server will not execute it.

    I guessed you've been fooled by the CGI term: it does not means that on server side a program (your code) will run.
