GoDaddy PATH_INFO workaround in the making

 
From: "Dada Mail" <dada@PROTECTED>
Date: January 3rd 2006

Good news, I think I've gotten a workaround for servers that don't
give back the correct PATH_INFO environment variable

The PATH_INFO environment variable is used in Dada Mail to use URL's
that look like this:

 http://mojo
skazat
com/cgi-bin/dada/mail
cgi/list/dadadev/

Instead of:

 http://mojo
skazat
com/cgi-bin/dada/mail
cgi?

flavor=list&list=dadadev

Using the PATH_INFO method makes the URL appear much cleaner and
search engine friendly

The problem is, some hosting companies, like GoDaddy execute cgi
scripts in a weird way, using some sort of wrapper script, for
security This breaks the PATH_INFO environment variable, and thus,
many many links in Dada Mail It also breaks most all navigation in
Dada Mail and the subscription/unsubscription process Not good Has
anyone experienced this problem?

I'll have a fix for this problem in the next release of Dada Mail,
along with the FCKeditor support

Don't say I don't love you,
