Hi everyone,
I can't find a clear statement in the Apache 2.2 documentation about the
following scenario:
I have the following configuration for index files:
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
The request
domain.tld/dir_containing_index_cgi/
works as expected.
Now, since CGI defines the PATH_INFO mechanism,
(See section 4.1.5. in http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3875)
the request
domain.tld/dir_containing_index_cgi/index.cgi/foo
results in execution of index.cgi with the meta-variable
PATH_INFO set to "foo".
*The question now is*:
Is Apache 2.2 supposed to evaluate requests like
domain.tld/dir_containing_index_cgi/foo
so that the index.cgi is executed with the meta-variable
PATH_INFO set to "foo"?
Here it gives me a 404 error, saying it cannot find the specified
resource. I just want to be sure, that it is not a configuration
mistake, that prevents requests like that to function.
For me the PATH_INFO mechanism is stupid anyway since I don't see any
advantage over the QUERY_STRING mechanism which is defined too.
But nevertheless it is defined and used.
With warm regards,
Jan Sievers
