Package: thttpd
Version: 2.21b-11.

I am experimenting with thttpd installation here, and I discovered that
thttpd (both Debian and orig upstream) don't add the vhost directory into
the PATH_TRANSLATED CGI environment when the vhost directive
is present in thttpd.conf.

(Consider a scenario when a non-vhosted site is moved to thttpd
vhosted environment - the CGI programs that are "used" to getting
relative URLS in the form of /index.html etc. within the scope of that
site, now will have to be adapted to /my.site.org/index.html.

Here is how it looks like from within printenv when accessed via
http://www.tarunz.org/cgi-bin/printenv:
	CGI printenv

	Date:
	Sat Dec 28 00:17:35 IST 2002

	Id:
[snip]

	Env:
	GATEWAY_INTERFACE=CGI/1.1
	SERVER_PORT=80
	PWD=/var/www.thttpd/www.tarunz.org/cgi-bin
	HTTP_USER_AGENT=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)
	PATH_INFO=/index.html
	HTTP_HOST=www.tarunz.org
	SERVER_PROTOCOL=HTTP/1.1
	HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING=gzip, deflate
	SCRIPT_NAME=/cgi-bin/printenv
	REMOTE_ADDR=65.213.101.250
	PATH_TRANSLATED=/var/www.thttpd/index.html
	CGI_PATTERN=www.tarunz.org/cgi-bin/*
	SERVER_NAME=www.tarunz.org
	SHLVL=1
	HTTP_ACCEPT=image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg,
	application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/vnd.ms-excel,
	application/msword, */*
	REQUEST_METHOD=GET
	HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE=ru
	PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/cgi-bin
	AUTH_TYPE=Basic
	SERVER_SOFTWARE=thttpd/2.21b 23apr2001
	_=/usr/bin/printenv

(please note that www.tarunz.org is presently switched back to apache,
so you won't be able to see it live)

It is possible to work it around
by doing appropriate patches into the CGI scripts, making them "aware"
of the THTTPD special behavior, but I perceive this is not very much
compliant with the CGI interface - the idea is that I should be able
to plug my CGI script that was vhosted on apache right into the vhosted
apache env.

I'm running debian woody+proposed updates, thttpd 2.21b-11.
Same thing exists in the corresponding upstream .orig src.

Note: when re-testing this, make sure you also check the fix works
with the d/o/m/domainname.com multi-level vhost prefixes (not used here).

Kind regards/happy new year,
Vassilii
