How many other environment variables are doubled? All of them?
The only other environment variable I have tried is REMOTE_ADDR, and
that does not appear to be doubled.
Does the problem exist when the Python script is run directly, outside
Abyss, or in IDLE, for example?
The problem is with the REMOTE_USER and REMOTE_AUTH variables, which
are set as a result of user authentication by the web browser. Thus,
they don't exist outside of the web server environment.
Since my posting yesterday, I've done a LOT of fiddling around with
this and found a couple of interesting things. First of all, there
was a minor typo in my web page HTML. The closing </HTML> tag was
lacking the last right angle bracket, so it looked like this: </HTML
However, that doesn't seem to have affected the issue at hand.
The second interesting thing is that this error occurs in the
index.py script. If I invoke it implicitly (by pointing my browser
at 127.0.0.1/Test), the REMOTE_USER and REMOTE_AUTH variables are
doubled. But if I invoke it explicitly (by pointing my browser at
127.0.0.1/Test/index.py), the variables are NOT doubled and are
returned correctly. Strange! I hate to say it, but this sounds like
a bug in the Abyss web server.
I have already reported this to Aprelium support.
