Bug Description

Binary package hint: mini-httpd

The patch debian/patches/03-cgi-php.dpatch for mini-httpd correctly adds support for the CGI environment variable SCRIPT_FILENAME, but it also incorrectly removes support for SCRIPT_NAME (which is required by some CGI scripts).

Since SCRIPT_NAME is defined by the CGI 1.1 specification (<http://hoohoo.ncsa.illinois.edu/cgi/env.html>) and AFAIK it was correctly implemented in mini-httpd, the patch should add SCRIPT_FILENAME without removing SCRIPT_NAME.

I'm using mini-httpd 1.19-8 on Ubuntu 9.04, but this bug seems to be present in all recent Ubuntu versions. AFAICT this bug is inherited from the Debian package.

Hi,

If the problem comes from Debian package also, could you please report it also to Debian? You can use reportbug --bts debian mini-http for that.

Thanks,
Fabrice
