IIS and Apache treat some CGI environment variables differently, so I
suspect the problem lies there.
For example in Apache, a URL like http://localhost/Tests/env.cgi/path gives:
PATH_INFO: /path
SCRIPT_NAME: /Tests/env.cgi
But I _believe_ IIS gives:
PATH_INFO: /Tests/env.cgi/path
SCRIPT_NAME: /Tests/env.cgi
Also, we assume in HTTPRequest.pathInfo() that PATH_INFO's first char is /.
I don't know if that's true in IIS.
I recommend running env.cgi under both servers and looking at the difference.
#!python
print '''Content-type: text/html
<html> <p>'''
import os
print '<table>'
keys = os.environ.keys()
keys.sort()
for key in keys:
print '<tr> <td>%s:</td> <td>%s</td> </tr>\n' % (key, os.environ[key])
print '</table>'
I can't take this further, because I don't use or even have IIS.
Don't forget to try a URL with extra path info:
http://localhost/env.cgi/extra/path
