Thanks Mark.
I've digged the problem with a rudimental debug, and I can see from
the response headers that it's an "invalid application" error, as
web2py looks for /var/www/lighttpd/web2py/applications/w2p, while the
last key should be stripped.
Lighttpd comes with a strip-request-uri, but it seems a bit buggy. In
my case it completely strips the request uri, and gives strange
characters as output, so I recieve obviously an "invalid path" error
from web2py.
I'll try with rewrite urls, but I thought it coud cause problems to
the internal rewrite rules of web2py... but your experience is
different. I'll go for it, and let you know.

PS: web2py developers, could we find a solution for this? Maybe a
configuration option? I know web2py is zero-configuration... but this
could worth a one-line file! :)
