mod_bash

Intro

heheh... it is stupid and not really useful. This code is an apache module like mod_php, mod_python, but for bash. Look this code:

<form action="index.html" method="get">
  <input type="text" name="AAAA" value="<?bash echo "$AAAA";?>"/>
  <input type="submit" />
</form>

or:

<table>
  <?bash for i in /home/*; do ?>
  <tr><td style="border: 1px solid #000;"><?bash echo $i; ?></td></tr>
  <?bash done; ?>
</table>

Security

What? This code is dangerous because nobody tests it and nobody will use it. If php can be dangerous, try to think if you don't check a variable: it will be sent directly to the `bash'...
