Fossil assumes that PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME are set up as described in
RFC3875. If what you say is correct, ISS appears not to follow RFC3875 and
hence does not really support CGI, but rather something that is merely
CGI-like.

The main Fossil website (http://www.fossil-scm.org/) is just an instance of
Fossil running on a Linux box as CGI. See
http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/selfhost.wiki for additional
information, including the scripts used to enable CGI on the various Fossil
mirrors.

Reminds me of a haiku I read years ago:
Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.
