Running CGI outside of cgi-bin. Good idea?

I'm considering moving from PHP to Python (for personal projects), and I really don't like seeing /cgi-bin/ in my URL.

I got the Python to execute outside of cgi-bin, but I just wanted to make sure there were no possible security issues that could pop up, and that there were no major impacts on the speed.

So are there any majo开发者_如何学编程r issues I need to be aware of?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Being as how it's nominally just a URL, there aren't any impacts on speed per-se. However, it is standard practice, just like it's standard practice to make the entry page to a website index.html, but it's not required by any stretch (as evidenced by default.aspx, home.php, etc)

I would change it as a security through obscurity reference myself, were I inclined to change those things on my system.

While you won't incur any Apache security issues, there may be issues with server-side code or hard-coded modules that don't query for path, and assume code is running from cgi-bin ... just something to consider.
