I think it's related to semanticscuttle development, so the dev list is
best suited here. Maybe other people read it, too, and we get insights
about the problem from them. Even if not, discussing it on the mailing
list archives our ongoing discussion and may help people in the future.

I understand that it's a PATH_INFO issue. The problem I currently have
is that I cannot reproduce it @home. This is the reason I ask for
apache and php versions, and preferably even the settings the
virtualhost in apache has. Maybe it's not even an apache but lighttpd
or so? Information helps.

We might fix it based on debugging information from some var_dump
statements on a live semanticscuttle installation on godaddy, but
that's not the same as a reproducible testcase on the dev machine - I
can i.e. run unit tests against that.

About parsing PATH_INFO: That's historic crap, and I don't like it,
too. Better would be to have a central URL parsing method that takes
care of such things.
