PATH_INFO

[Dave Dash]

Yeah, I'm passing everything to FastCGI.

I'm using something similar to this:

location \.php(/|$) {
>
> set $script_name $uri;
> set $path_info "";
>
> if ($uri ~ ^(.+\.php)(/.+)) {
> set $script_name $1;
> set $path_info $2;
> }
>
> fastcgi_pass ...
>
> fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /path*/to/*$script_name;
> fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info;
> }
>

but really $path_info should be url_decoded before being set as a
fastcgi_param.  Since the CGI spec says:

The extra path information, as given by the client. In other words, scripts

But is there a way that I can just do

fstcgi_param PATH_INFO urldecode($path_info); ?
