Re: customize apache serving of css file

[Scott Klement <web400@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One easy way to achieve this is to create a faux directory that actually 
runs a CGI script.  Something like

ScriptAlias /css /qsys.lib/yourlib.lib/csscgi.pgm

Then when someone gives a URL like http://yoursys/css/myfile.css it will 
run the yourlib/csscgi program.   That program can interrogate it's 
REQUEST_URI to find out which file was requested, it can do it's 
processing, and then dump the needed CSS file out to Apache (which in 
turn will send it to the browser.)

Since it's running your program every time, you can insert any code you 
like.

But, beware of the performance implications if this is a high-volume server.
