Binaries of Apache 1.3b3 from www.apache.org. >Description: The environment variable, PATH_INFO, is being lowercased when my cgi program is run by Apache. This causes serious problems for HAHTsite webapps that encode their stateid in the URL. The stateid is case sensitive. >How-To-Repeat: Just print out the environment from a cgi program. The PATH_INFO is lowercased. >Fix: Don't lowercase the PATH_INFO environment when extracting it from the URL >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
