When using cgi or FastCGI, the PATHINFO environment variable contains the
/myaction part - in fact, it contains whatever the server finds after the
path to the CGI app.
Thanks Michael.
I tried what you suggested but ran into a problem - that environment
variable doesn't exist here. I Googled it and I found a website that
mentions PATH_INFO environment variable instead. That worked. Thanks for
the info
It was a typo, my mistake. The fp-web property is PathInfo :/
BTW:
Just so others know, if you call the CGI app directly without any
parameters, PATH_INFO is not set as an environment variable. Just another
little web gotcha! :)
Well, to make things more complicated, newer apache servers allow to disable
PATH_INFO passing to CGI scripts alltogether. I guess it is to protect
against search engines flooding the CGI scripts. Exactly the opposite of
what you want to achieve :-)
Michael.
