It is just the most widely accepted name convention, commonly provided by
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /web/cgi-bin/
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mo...tml#scriptalias
This makes apache attempt to _execute_ any file below /web/cgi-bin/,
effectively reducing the risk of exposing the script source to the browser.
