Synopsis: path-info should not be urlencoded State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: brian State-Changed-When: Sun Jul 20 20:36:36 PDT 1997 State-Changed-Why: By the only "spec" for CGI, the documentation at http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/, PATH_INFO is to be URL-decoded. There's really no reason not to do that.
Check out http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/env.html, it says: > The extra path information, as given by the client. In > other words, scripts can be accessed by their virtual > pathname, followed by extra information at the end of > this path. The extra information is sent as PATH_INFO. > This information should be decoded by the server if it > comes from a URL before it is passed to the CGI script.
