Hi,
I followed Lyle's advice and moved my module down to the
PerlFixupHandler phase and also added the extra logging info.
However I still get, as predicted, one initial request for the correct
URI and another subrequest for a URI which corresponds to the value I
set the path_info to. If I don't set the path_info the subrequest
disappears. So I still wonder why setting the path_info causes a
subrequest to happen?
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Giorgos
