Re: [Cppcms-users] script_name and path_info

[CN <cn...@fa...>]

Hi!

Please ignore this question for this moment so that nobody's precious
time will be wasted.
I am responding to my own question before I have finished my study.

My study so far on lighttpd's fcgi configuration makes me feel that
script_name and path_info involves more lighttpd than CppCMS as shown
here:

http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Docs_ModFastCGI

This helps myself a lot find out the answers for my own question -
catching everything in cppcms::mount_point() like so:

my_cppcms_service.applications_pool().mount(cppcms::create_pool<my_app>(),cppcms::mount_point(cppcms::mount_point::match_script_name,"(.*)",1),cppcms::app::synchronous)

and print the environment variables in question here:

my_app::main(std::string url)
{
  BOOSTER_DEBUG("") << "SCRIPT_NAME=" << request().script_name()
  << ", PATH_INFO=" << request().path_info();
}

By sending request "localhost:8080" from browser, what I get from
request().script_name() now is "my_program" which I guess is either the
socket name or the program name awaiting for me to investigate more...

Cheers,
CN
