Problem with uWSGI and PATH_INFO

Nope, as already said there is no way to manage this directly in nginx
(and technically any 'automatic' management could not be so easy to be
'fair'). You have to rewrite PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME in uWSGI itself
following the links i pasted before.

To be more clear:

nginx passes to uWSGI:

PATH_INFO = /foo/bar

uWSGI receives it and rewrite it as

SCRIPT_NAME = /foo
PATH_INFO = /bar

by using something like this (in the config, tune the regexps as required):

[uwsgi]
route = ^/(.+?)/(.+)$ setscriptname:/$1
route = ^/(.+?)/(.+)$ setpathinfo:/$2
