Hello,
After installing a website running perfectly locally with the embedded
http server I ran into problems when the server was running behind
apache + scgi.
I've investigated the problem, and found that there was a problem in
web.py at the place where the mod_scgi repair is done. The problem is
caused when the request URI is quoted. If this is the case the "mod_scgi
PATH_INFO repair code" will not work, because the SCRIPT_NAME and the
REQUEST_URI are different because the REQUEST_URI is quoted and
SCRIPT_NAME is not. I fixed the problem by unquoting the REQUEST_URI
before comparing it with the SCRIPT_NAME like this:
from qp.hub.web, SCGIHandler.handle_connection
request_uri = unquote(env.get('REQUEST_URI'))
if (env.get('SCRIPT_NAME') and
env.get('SCRIPT_NAME') == request_uri and
env.get('SCRIPT_NAME').startswith(self.script_name) and
env.get('PATH_INFO') is None):
# This looks like it is coming through mod_scgi and
# needs repair.
env['PATH_INFO'] = env['SCRIPT_NAME'][len(self.script_name):]
env['SCRIPT_NAME'] = self.script_name
assert env['SCRIPT_NAME'] + env['PATH_INFO'] == request_uri
I was surprised by this because quixote + apache + scgi works with
quoted urls. After checking the quixote's mod_scgi path info repair code
I realized the check was much less strict.
Anyhow, I hope this fix will reach the qp package some day.

Maas-Maarten Zeeman
