[Tclhttpd-users] affecting env(SCRIPT_NAME)

[dlb <sem...@wo...>]

Ok, here's an interesting one..

I've been able to adapt the TCL wiki to TCLHTTPD by using TCLKitsh  ( tclkit
version of tclsh ) as the interpreter ( ie. launching tclhttpd from tclkitsh )
and running the Wikit via CGI. The only real problem that I've encountered is
that there's a quirk in the way that the SCRIPT_NAME environmental variable is
being generated a/o interpreted.  The number of delimiters ,"/ " ,after cgi-bin
in the script path are increasing - with each transaction with the wikit an
extra forward slash is appended to cgi-bin/ .  After a few posts I've got
something that looks like this , ../cgi-bin////////wiki.cgi .

Stripping these so that they don't affect the wiki's internal URL recognition
isn't a problem , but I'm not sure of how to affect the base script_name var. A
clue might lie in the fact that the script_name path reflects the URL of the
referring link + 1 forwards slash between /cgi-gin/ and the cgi script.  So if a
transaction involves several CGI operations you might end up with
/cgi-bin////wikit.cgi , while a simple post to the wiki results in
/cgi-bin//wiki.cgi.

Where is the $url of  'set env(SCRIPT_NAME) $url' within 'Cgi_SetEnvAll'
(cgi.tcl)' coming in from ?  Is this extracted from another environmental var ?

I hadn't noticed this problem with other interps , so am assuming this has
something to do with TCLKitsh .

any ideas ?

thanks
David

ps. once I get this running properly I'd like to look at adapting wikit to an
application direct url.
