Re: [Cppcms-users] script_name and path_info

[Artyom B. <art...@gm...>]

I suggest read the documentation of CGI

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface

it is good place to start.

Short explanation

/foo/bar.php/do/it/or+not?f=c

Than

/foo/bar.php - is script name
"/do/it/or not" - is path info

f=c is query string.

The rest is up to you. They way you configure web server.
