You're right, that code ain't pretty, and also it's changed between 0.8.1
and the tip of CVS. It might work in one but not the other.
If you are using Apache, then instead of fixing the bug or using 2
appservers, you might consider using a mod_rewrite trick in Apache so that
you don't need ExtraPathInfo. I think the Wiki may have some examples, but
basically you need to rewrite:
http://foo.bar.com/WebKit/MyContext/MyServlet/Extra/Path/Info?x=y&z=foo
into
http://foo.bar.com/WebKit/MyContext/MyServlet?extra_path_info=Extra/Path/Inf
o&x=y&z=foo
then just use self.request().field('extra_path_info') to get the info.
