The basic rule. When server matches url it splits it into
"SCRIPT_NAME" and "PATH_INFO"

Under lighttpd:

For script "/foo":

   /foo/bar => "/foo"  and "/bar"
   /foo/ => "/foo"  and "/"
   /foo => "/foo"  and ""

For script "my_app.fcgi" it would be

   /some/path/my_app.fcgi/bar => "/some/path/my_app.fcgi" and "/bar"
   /my_app.fcgi => "/my_app.fcgi" and ""

As far as I know for script "/" it does wired things... do not
use it directly. Rather rewrite the URL to something like
  /bar => /foo/bar
And use script "/foo"

url.add ALWAYS matches against PATH_INFO.

So in order to make url parsing work, make sure you get from the
server the correct path info.

For simplest debugging:

  url.add("^(.*)$",boost::bind(&myapp::index,this,_1));

Make sure you make the server sending correct PATH_INFO
variable.
