Hello Tom Cats,
Currently under Tomcat 4.1.12 SSI "normal" configuration which invokes a
CGI script does not work. The reason for this is pretty obvious: The SSI
servelet uses the pathInfo (PATH_INFO) value and calls the request
dispatcher for any resources needed. The request dispatcher eats the
pathInfo value and the CGI servlet can't find the CGI program, because it
relies on pathInfo to tell it where the script is. Or something like that,
whatever, you cats probably know better.
Anyway, I made minor changes to three files in the current 4.1.12 distro
to solve this problem. The strategy is thus: SSI-invoked resources flag
the request with an attibute. When CGI servlet finally gets the request
dispached, he checks whether SSI servlet invoked the resource via said
attribute. If this is the case, he ignores the request.getPathInfo()
method in favor of an already-present attribute on the request which
already has the PATH_INFO environment value in it.
Voila, everything works now. Diff attached.
