This is driving me nuts...... I created a CGI file for my repository on the server:
Test.cgi: !#\Program Files\Fossil\Fossil.exe repository: C:\Projects\Test\Test.fossil I configured IIS to send *.cgi requests to Fossil.exe then pointed my browser to: http://myserver/Projects/Test/Test.cgi I get an unformatted web page (no logo, no css). Snooping with Wireshark shows this exchange: Request: GET /Projects/Test/Test.cgi HTTP/1.1 Host: myserver Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 Accept: application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/8.0.552.224 Safari/534.10 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8 Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3 Reponse: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store Content-Length: 1360 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 14:49:39 GMT <!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> <title>Unnamed Fossil Project: Home</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/Projects/Test/Test.cgi/style.css?default" type="text/css" media="screen" /> ....... </head> <body> <div class="header"> <div class="logo"> <img src="/Projects/Test/Test.cgi/logo" alt="logo" /> </div> <div class="title"><small>Unnamed Fossil Project</small><br />Home</div> <div class="status">Not logged in</div> </div> ..... </html> Request: GET /Projects/Test/Test.cgi/style.css?default HTTP/1.1 Host: myserver Connection: keep-alive Referer: http://myserver/Projects/Test/Test.cgi Cache-Control: max-age=0 Accept: text/css,*/*;q=0.1 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/8.0.552.224 Safari/534.10 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8 Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3 Reponse: HTTP/1.1 200 OK .... <head> <title>Unnamed Fossil Project: Home</title> ....... </html> Request: GET / Projects/Test/Test.cgi/logo HTTP/1.1 Host: myserver Connection: keep-alive Referer: http://myserver/Projects/Test/Test.cgi Cache-Control: max-age=0 Accept: text/css,*/*;q=0.1 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/8.0.552.224 Safari/534.10 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8 Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3 Reponse: HTTP/1.1 200 OK .... <head> <title>Unnamed Fossil Project: Home</title> ....... </html> Yeah, that's right; I got the home page again and again. By trial and error I found that the requests should be: GET /style.css?default HTTP/1.1 GET /logo HTTP/1.1 It seems that Fossil uses the PATH_INFO to construct its reply in CGI mode. I achieved the correct results by writing a Perl script that strips the SCRIPT_NAME portion from the PATH_INFO environment variable before invoking Fossil: $path = $ENV{"PATH_INFO"}; $script = $ENV{"SCRIPT_NAME"}; if ($path =~ m/^$script/) { # PATH_INFO starts with SCRIPT_NAME? $ENV{"PATH_INFO"} = substr($path, length($script)); } All Fossil / CGI requests must be processed through this Perl script. Thus, I concluded, Fossil/CGI cannot possibly work on Windows/IIS without scripting. Q: Is this correct? Am I missing something? In fact, given the above analysis, it shouldn't work in Linux either, yet, (I assume) it does. Q: Can somebody please explain what is or isn't happening in Linux that is or isn't happening in Windows/IIS?
