19:58		Do not assume that the method is CGI just because the GATEWAY_INTERFACE environment variable is set. Only do CGI if GATEWAY_INTERFACE is set and there either is no argument specified, or the specified argument is not a valid command.

Description & Comments:
I just encountered a small issue using fossil within a php script. Using the php "exec()" function to run fossil -- to add a ticket to a repository -- I was unable to do it directly because fossil starts in cgi mode. The way around was to execute fossil from a shell script which "unset"s GATEWAY_INTERFACE. This took me a bit to figure out, and seems unnecessary. So I suggest adding a '-nocgi' option so that it is easier to run fossil from within a cgi-script (without using fossil in cgi mode) ron added on 2010-11-05 05:46:45: This fix seems to make my server not work any longer. It is configured as a script which is executed from the server, and that server is: #!/path/to/fossil directory: /home/my/fossils notfound: http://somewhere.else/ What is happening is a 'server misconfigured' message when I access the page now; reverting to ver cb2ff51 fixes the problem. Adding 'cgi' as a parameter on the #! line helps, but I lose the css. ron added on 2010-11-09 09:01:37: Reverted your fixes, because they cause problems with certain CGI scripts scenarios (e.g. if the CGI script is named a valid fossil command prefix). Instead, check for '-nocgi' option and disable automatic 'cgi' if it is present. [1b883d49cf0885c74f1324b545caf28aafec385a]
