PATH_INFO is a very, very common requirement for CGI programs. In Apache and Lighttpd (at least) it 'just works'. Even in Hiawatha it worked fine once you turned it on. It's true that (e.g.) PHP frameworks tend to rely on URL rewriting for prettier URLs, but URL rewriting is done differently on every server. For integrating a CGI program into just about any web setup with minimal configuration changes, PATH_INFO wins easily. -- Joshua Paine LetterBlock: Web applications built with joy http://letterblock.com/ 301-576-1920 _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
