PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME for handlers at root level

"Mike Friedman" <friedo@xxxxxxxxxx> · Fri, 11 Jul 2008 15:25:02 -0400

Greetings!

I'm using Apache 2.2.4 with mod_perl 2.0.3.

I've got a mod_perl handler setup like so, within a vhost:

<Location /myapp>
        SetHandler perl-script
        PerlResponseHandler MyApp::Dispatcher
</Location>

Under this setup, if I navigate to /myapp/foo/bar/baz, I get:

PATH_INFO => /foo/bar/baz
SCRIPT_NAME => /myapp

This makes sense. However, if I then change the Location block from
/myapp to /, the behavior changes:

PATH_INFO => /bar/baz
SCRIPT_NAME => /foo

This breaks my dispatcher, which expects to see everything under the
Location as the PATH_INFO. Is this consistent with how PATH_INFO is
supposed to work, and if so is there a way to make it do what I want?

Thanks for any help!

Mike
