When a URL to an object isn't terminated properly with a /, under SCGI the following occurs: http://someurl/admin gets redirected to http://someurl/site/admin/ This doesn't happen when run with the CGI driver What triggered me to look at this was noticing this behaviour when using the option_select widget. I have a form which uses an option_select widget to reload (re render) a form onchange(). The first visit to the form results in a HTTP GET to the correct path: User sees: http://someurl/admin/content/376/content Browser request: "GET /admin/content/376/content HTTP/1.0" 200 7053 "http://someurl/admin/content/376/edit" Choosing another option from the option_select widget results in a post, but adds the SCGI prefix ("site" in this case) into the post argument. User sees: http://someurl/site/admin/content/376/content Browser request: "POST /site/admin/content/376/content HTTP/1.0" 200 5768 "http://someurl/admin/content/376/content" My SCGI configuration looks as follows: httpd.conf:SCGIServer 127.0.0.1 4000 SCGIHandler On Allow from all .htaccess RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*\.(gif|jpg|css|wav|avi|mpg|pdf|txt|html|js|swf)$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*site.*$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /site/$1 [L] This behaviour is not noted when running in either my Windows or *nix CGI test / dev environments - only SCGI. I turned FIX_TRAILING_SLASHES off which predictably causes the simple missing / example to raise the appropriate error. But, the onchange submit() in used by an option_select widget still "works" but inserts the /site prefix in the URL. Any thoughts?
