Class PathInfo

This URL scheme is based on PATH_INFO.

PATH_INFO is used to the set the screen in the URL's. Otherwise, this class is just like aquarium.urlscheme.QueryParameters, which this class derives from.

Hiding the `index.cgi` or `index.fcgi` in Apache with mod_rewrite

To change URLs such as http://www.example.com/index.fcgi/fancy_page into URLs such as http://www.example.com/fancy_page under Apache, use mod_rewrite:

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    ...

# This rewrites the URL so that everything that isn't a static file
# goes through index.fcgi.  Change the .fcgi to .cgi if you're not
# using FastCGI.
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.fcgi/$1 [L]
</Directory>
