Let's task an example:
/cgi-bin/instance.cgi/edit_form?breed_id=2
That's pretty typical looking for one of my apps. I'm splitting on "/".
Heck, I think it has to start with a "/", otherwise it wouldn't be
"PATH_INFO", it would just be some junk.
I really never use path_info for anything else.
However, someone suggested also including a session_id in path_info, so
that might look like this:
/cgi-bin/instance.cgi/Cuwruf2R4wCg/edit_form?breed_id=2
That's the case where you would set "path_info => 2".
I doubt I would use this feature myself-- I don't mind using cookies.
Passing a session_id around manually is a real PITA. If it doesn't go through
every link and every form, you have a "leak" and lose the session.
