Following on from the projectx-helper.cgi [dzone.com] post the following Apache rewrite instruction reduces the url to something more user friendly. In this example the user would enter the URL http://someurl.com/planner/create/date/190808 for a new planner record to be created for the 19th August.

   2     RewriteEngine on
   3     RewriteRule ^/planner/create/date/(\d+)$ /p/projectx-helper.cgi?project=mdynarex&method=create&file=planner&date=$1 [p]

Note the destination address is proxied to allow the execution of the script to be permitted.

   4  <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
   5          AllowOverride None
   6          Options +ExecCGI +Indexes
   7          Order allow,deny
   8          Allow from all
   9  </Directory>
