So I have two CGI scripts set up. Both are in a "protected" area of the
server (on my development machine) that requires a client certificate. One
receives *just* the RFC-3875 defined variables:
AUTH_TYPE=Certificate
GEMINI_DOCUMENT_ROOT=/home/spc/projects/gemini/non-checkin/cgi-bin
GEMINI_URL=gemini://lucy.roswell.area51/cgi-bin/beta/foobar?one=1&two=2
GEMINI_URL_PATH=/cgi-bin/beta/foobar
PATH_INFO=/foobar
PATH_TRANSLATED=/home/spc/projects/gemini/non-checkin/cgi-bin/foobar
QUERY_STRING=one=1&two=2
REMOTE_ADDR=::ffff:192.168.1.10
REMOTE_HOST=::ffff:192.168.1.10
REMOTE_USER=Sean Conner
REQUEST_METHOD=
SCRIPT_NAME=/home/spc/projects/gemini/non-checkin/cgi-bin/./beta
SERVER_NAME=lucy.roswell.area51
SERVER_PORT=1965
SERVER_PROTOCOL=GEMINI
SERVER_SOFTWARE=GLV-1.12556/1
I believe this is using SCRIPT_NAME incorrectly per RFC 3875. The SCRIPT_NAMEshould be the part of the URI path that comes before the PATH_INFO [1]. So inyour example:
GEMINI_URL=gemini://lucy.roswell.area51/cgi-bin/beta/foobar?one=1&two=2SCRIPT_NAME=/cgi-bin/betaPATH_INFO=/foobar
I'm also curious how you are handling URL-encoding in your CGI variables. Forjetforce, I followed my best interpretation of the RFC 3875 guidelines:
- GEMINI_URL: URL-encoded (not specified by the RFC, of course)- QUERY_STRING: URL-encoded- PATH_INFO: URL-decoded- SCRIPT_NAME: URL-decoded
I have a CGI debug script setup here [2] if anybody wants to poke holes in myimplementation.
