For some reason CGI doesn’t work on this server at all. Trying to run things just ends up with the program itself being served, rather than its output. (Yes, I have the executable bit set.) This means that MimeTeX, which is a CGI program written in C, doesn’t work at all.

Of course, this doesn’t really matter since they have a public server, http://www.forkosh.dreamhost.com/mimetex.cgi, which apparently anyone and everyone can use. Of course I feel a little guilty leeching off their site like that even if Adrað’s bandwidth is pretty negligible, so I hacked together a filter for fauxML that uses their server once and saves the result locally. I’ve put the result here so anyone on the other end of a Google search or whatever can save a few minutes’ hassle by copypasting it.
