ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetEnvironmentVariableW(u'PATH_INFO', ...)
Hmm... it turns out: no. IIS appears to be mangling characters that are
not in mbcs even *before* it puts the decoded value into the envvars.
The same is true with isapi_wsgi, which is the only other WSGI adapter I
know of for IIS. This gets the same mangled byte string from
GetServerVariable as Python gets from the envvars, so it looks like this
is a mistake IIS is making further up before it even hits the CGI
handler. Maybe someone more familiar with ISAPI knows a better way to
read PATH_INFO than GetServerVariable, but I can't see anything
promising in MSDN.
So it would seem to be impossible at the moment to have Unicode paths
work under IIS at all.
The ctypes approach could rescue bytes for the Apache/nt/Py2 combination
(perhaps also from libc.getenv for Apache/posix/Py3), but then Apache
already gives us REQUEST_URI which is a much easier workaround. There
might be CGI servers for Windows where ctypes could serve some purpose,
but I can't think of any currently in use other than the Big Two.
In summary, to get the original submitted byte strings for PATH_INFO:
Apache/nt/Py2
process REQUEST_URI
Apache/posix/Py2
use PATH_INFO directly
(or process REQUEST_URI)
Apache/nt/Py3
encode PATH_INFO to ISO-8859-1
(or process REQUEST_URI)
Apache/posix/Py3
process REQUEST_URI
IIS/nt/Py2
decode PATH_INFO from mbcs, then encode to UTF-8
FAIL for characters not in current mbcs
FAIL for non-UTF-8 input
IIS/nt/Py3
encode PATH_INFO to UTF-8
FAIL for characters not in current mbcs
FAIL for non-UTF-8 input
wsgiref.simple_server/Py2
use PATH_INFO directly
wsgiref.simple_server/Py3
remains to be seen, but at the moment encode PATH_INFO to UTF-8
FAIL for non-UTF-8 input
cherrypy.wsgiserver/Py2
use PATH_INFO directly
cherrypy.wsgiserver/Py3
remains to be seen, but at the moment encode PATH_INFO to UTF-8
FAIL for non-UTF-8 input
