I am probably missing something obvious again but here's something that has me puzzled. I have a CGI program that executes for every URL starting with /akasha. But if I leave off the trailing slash, I get a redirect to the URL with a /. Ideally what should happen is it shouldn't matter if there's a trailing slash, it should just invoke the CGI and be done with it. normally this is not a problem when accessing pages but it is causing problems for CGI. It would really be nice to not have to remember to add that trailing /

what am I missing?

Directory /akasha {

    Handler cgi {
        ErrorHandler on
        scriptalias /var/www/scripts/default/ak_cgi.cgi

        # point to the akasha modules
        Env PYTHONPATH "/usr/local/python/akasha"

        # point to the default css file
        Env AKASHA_CSS "/files/akasha.css"

        # base_path is the full pathname to the akasha data store
        # don't forget the trailing slash
        # note: this path should not be exposed to the outside world
        Env AKASHA_BASE_PATH "/home/esj/projects/data-akasha/"

        # make this the same as the script name in scriptalias
        Env AKASHA_SCRIPT "ak_cgi.cgi"
    }
}

*** ethereal capture.
