      1) Prepare script in webapps directory

      echo Content-type: text/html
echo.
echo HTTP_PROXY [%HTTP_PROXY%]

      2) Configure web.xml

      	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class&gt;org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet</servlet-class&gt;
		<init-param>
			<param-name>debug</param-name>
			<param-value>6</param-value>
		</init-param>
		<init-param>
			<param-name>cgiPathPrefix</param-name>
			<param-value>WEB-INF/cgi</param-value>
		</init-param>
		<init-param>
			<param-name>passShellEnvironment</param-name>
			<param-value>true</param-value>
		</init-param>
		<load-on-startup>5</load-on-startup>
	</servlet>

	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>/cgi-bin/*</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>

      3) Configure context.xml with 

      <Context privileged="true">

      4) Reach script with a client .../cgi-bin/echo.bat (response is 200, but nothing is echoed)
      5) Log localhost.log contains:

      INFO: cgi: runCGI (stderr):syntax error at C:\Program Files\jws-3.0\share\tomcat7\webapps\2016-5388\WEB-INF\cgi\echo.bat line 1, near "type:"

      When trying access CGI script (which can be run standalone correctly):

      echo Content-type: text/html
echo.
echo HTTP_PROXY [%HTTP_PROXY%]

      on windows configured for tomcat7 the error:

      INFO: cgi: runCGI (stderr):syntax error at C:\Program Files\jws-3.0\share\tomcat7\webapps\2016-5388\WEB-INF\cgi\echo.bat line 1, near "type:"

      appears.
