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.
