Subject: url(...) returns empty results with IIS
the url() function returns an empty value since i upgraded to the 3.20. the problem is probably coming by the fact the path_info and script_name contains the same string, and the _name_and_path_from_env is just blanking it. sub _name_and_path_from_env { ...... my $protected = quotemeta($raw_path_info); $raw_script_name =~ s/$protected$//; this has as side effect that the alst s// of the url function is giving a 'Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at (eval...' because the $url is empty. here a extract of a print Dumper(\%ENV); 'SCRIPT_NAME' => '/sm/list.cgi', 'PATH_INFO' => '/sm/list.cgi', 'REQUEST_URI' => '/sm/list.cgi?inf_cost=1', 'QUERY_STRING' => 'inf_cost=1',

The simplified test case from the above is... perl -MCGI -w -e'print CGI->new->url(-relative => 1)' Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at (eval 4) line 44. Use of uninitialized value in print at -e line 1. On Fri May 19 16:33:38 2006, SMPETERS wrote: Show quoted text

Hi ! I think that problems with method url() are not solved in CGI.pm 3.23 with MS IIS see ticket # 19044 Actual url http://localhost:80/cgi-bin/cgitest.pl?arg1=1&arg2=2 Server Software Microsoft-IIS/5.1 CGI Version 3.23 self_url() http://localhost/cgi-bin/cgitest.pl?arg1=1;arg2=2 url() http://localhost url(full=>1) -> EMPTY url(relative=>1) -> EMPTY url(-absolute=>1) -> EMPTY url(-path=>1) http://localhost/cgi-bin/cgitest.pl url(-path_info=>1) http://localhost/cgi-bin/cgitest.pl url(-query=>1) -> WRONG : http://localhost?arg1=1;arg2=2 url(-query_string=>1) -> WRONG : http://localhost?arg1=1;arg2=2 url(-path=>1,-query=>1) http://localhost/cgi-bin/cgitest.pl?arg1=1;arg2=2 url(base=>1) -> EMPTY Everything is fine if I use Apache instead of IIS. When installing ActivePerl 5.8.8.817 it comes with 3.15 which shows the problem, while 3.10 coming with ActivePerl 5.8.7 is correct. Thanks for your help Regards

Given the lack of comments on this since 2007, I'm going to mark it as "resolved" with no further action. If there's still a problem with 3.63, please re-open the ticket. Mark
