Description

lighttpd does not set PATH_INFO at all when using mod_cgi.

This required by the CGI spec, and breaks some web frameworks (eg: CGI::Application).

I am testing on Mac OS X, but this will probably not matter.

This is still the case for 1.4.19, unfortunately. I will try to fix it.

After digging around in the sources I think I'll better leave it as is. Especially considering that for my purposes I had to use handle_physical instead of handle_subrequest_start, which further complicates the matter. However, it definitely needs fixing. I'll use SCRIPT_NAME for now.

PATH_INFO is determined before the handle_subrequest_start hook and is available in mod_cgi.

If you are still seeing an issue, please provide more details on how to reproduce it.
