I'll just plug my longstanding request that Quixote redirect path '' (the
mount point itself) to '/'.  That's no more magical than adding a slash
redirect to a directory, which Quixote and all other webservers do. It's
the only reasonable interpretation of '' ("Duh, they must be trying to get
to the home page.")  Otherwise everybody has to put a redirect in their
Apache config.

FWIW, my configuration is like this (SCGI 1.4).  I only mount on
subdirectories and I don't use virtual hosts:

RewriteRule ^/rl$  /rl/  [R=permanent]

        Order Allow,deny
        Allow from all
        SCGIServer localhost:3002
        SCGIHandler On
