case of the missing SCRIPT_URI and SCRIPT

markjugg has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I've got a question for the CGI jocks among you. I'm running identical perl code on two different virtual domains, both served by the same Apache 1.3.17.

When I perform the same action in both environments, one domain does not report the SCRIPT_URI and SCRIPT_URL in the ENV variables. SCRIPT_NAME holds suitable information in both cases as a work around, but I'm curious what could cause this. Thanks!

If I recall, apparently `SCRIPT_URI` and `SCRIPT_URL` are added by `mod_rewrite`, so if that's not enabled, you don't get those env's. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]

Your right! You get the golden duck award. (I only give out this virtual award in very special cases). With your pointer, I found the documentation here to verify and explain it. update: This page explains what the normal CGI environment variables are for. -mark	[reply]
