[thelist] Apache/Win32 not setting SCRIPT_NAME properly

Hi all,

Has anyone else heard of a problem where Apache/Win32 doesn't set the 
script_name variable properly?

script_name is supposed to hold the path portion of the URL, excluding the 
query string.

e.g. http://localhost/index.cfm?foo=bar
script_name = "/index.cfm"

e.g. http://localhost/index.cfm/foo/bar
script_name = "/index.cfm/foo/bar"

Apache for Win32 sets the last example to "/index.cfm" instead.


Other OS distros of Apache don't seem to be affected.   This isn't a CF 
problem, as I've had the same trouble in PHP and Perl scripts.

It's a right pain when trying to develop and locally test query-stringless 
sites (that can be indexed by search engines).


Any ideas?

</ol>
