    According to rfc3876, REQUEST_URI is not a part of the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) specification. SCRIPT_NAME is what should be used to create self-referential hyperlinks.

    Everything works correctly as currently implemented. You are asking for a change that will make URLs more cosmetically appealing when using fossil under a particular configuration of Apache. Cosmetics are nice. But everything works now. And to implement this change would probably break other configurations. I think it is much better to confirm to standards and work across all platforms than to try to make the URLs a little shorter when using certain configurations of Apache.

    Apache is widely used, but it is not universal. The main fossil website is an example of a website that does not use Apache. www.fossil-scm.org uses a single-file webserver dispatched using inetd and called althttpd.

    sorry i couldnt get back to you sooner. please take another look at http://roxirc.lighter.net you will notice there is no cgi in the url, but all the links have fossil.cgi in them. if you click any link and then remove the fossil.cgi the page still works fine. the apache config for this is:

    DirectoryIndex home

    <Location "/fossil.cgi"> SetHandler None </Location>

    I looked at http://roxirc.lighter.net/ but I didn't find any ugly links, at least not links that I think are ugly. Perhaps you could provide some example of the ugly links you have in mind and your suggested improvements.
