I just double checked and ran latest DIMP on RHEL3 and it worked only after I added AcceptPathInfo On to the config file. Even if Apache documentation says: "Handlers that serve scripts, such as cgi-script and isapi-handler, generally accept PATH_INFO by default." This should be mentioned in DIMP (or Horde) docs at least. Or maybe test.php could include a test for that.

It's not even a compilation option - it's a simple config setting.

Well, then Apache is compiled with default to reject PATH_INFO requests on these systems.

Huh? PATH_INFO is a core function of Apache. There is a setting to turn it off, but it's always available.

Remove PATH_INFO usage to allow to run on web servers without it.
