^ is the regex anchor for start of line. Scriptaliasmatch uses regular
expressions. The starting place of the documentation is at
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_alias.html
$1 is a back reference to the first matched section between ()'s, So
whatever (.*) matches. Which should be anything. I don’t know why
they have to be different, I don't even remember if I tried it with
the first method when I tested this long ago.
Are you posting to the second program? Are you sending back the right
headers? There are a lot of moving parts in persistent CGI, and it
isn't very well documented that I could find. I ended up bowing to the
pressure and reworking my processes to be stateless. Anything that
needed to be tracked from one program to the next used session variables.

Subject: [WEB400] Apache directive syntax
As I have said in an earlier post, I have been running a persistent
CGI application on a V5R1 system for ten or more years using the IBM
original HTTP server. I have now transferred it to a V5R3 system and
must run it under Apache. My static pages work correctly but I am
having problems with my dynamic persistent CGI pages. The first screen
is displayed correctly with data retrieved from the database, so I
assume that there are no security problems, yet, when I click on Enter
to access the second screen, I get an error, the actual error
depending on which particular version of my config file I use.
I imagine that the problem is of my making, but, having reacted to
various kind suggestions, as yet I have achieved nothing, and I have
to admit that I really don't know what I am doing. Yet, having
searched for many hours for adequate documentation of the syntax of
Apache directives, I cannot find anything that answers my questions.
For instance, what is the effect of putting *^* at the beginning of a
ScriptAlias or ScriptAliasMatch line? What is the difference between a
ScriptAliasMatch statement that ends with $1 and another that ends $1.pgm?
https://www.easy400.net/cgidev2o/persista.htm states -
“The *ScriptAliasMatch *directive for executing persistent CGI
programs MUST HAVE the following format ScriptAliasMatch
/cgidev2p/(.*)
/qsys.lib/cgidev2.lib/$1 The following format WOULD NOT WORK:
ScriptAliasMatch /cgidev2p/(.*).pgm /qsys.lib/cgidev2.lib/$1.pgm”
but neither work for me.
Can anyone please point me at documentation of the Apache syntax that
explains all this?
Many thanks,
Rob
