Is it possible to get http.server.CGIHTTPRequestHandler to run a symlink-ed
script?
In the example below, GET /cgi-bin/test.py results in a 404 because it is a
symlink.
% mkdir -p test/cgi-bin
% cd test
% vi test.py
% chmod +x test.py
% ln -s test.py cgi-bin
% cp test.py cgi-bin/test2.py
% chmod +x cgi-bin/test2.py
% python3 -m http.server --cgi 8090
