Re: AllowPathInfoForScriptMappings in IIS5 (was Re: [PHP] URL path question)

As I understand it, it would allow me to do the following: /path/file.php/more_path/ Where PATH_INFO would be equal to "more_path/", instead of "/path/file.php/". Right now, I get an error back from the above, giving the following message: CGI Error: The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are: From what I understand, this should work. I have seen several posts where this works just fine under Apache. Further, if I were using an ISAPI extension (not script mapping), this works correctly. Maybe I am just misunderstanding where the problem is, or what the above flag is meant to achieve. Fact is, IIS is not allowing me to do something that Apache is. I would prefer to use IIS, since I need if for other applications and do not want to run two web servers on the same computer... Any thoughts on how I can get this to work?
