Rewrite Engine does not pick up correct REQUEST_FILENAME when using PATH_INFO

[dreamscape]

There is an odd problem in LiteSpeed 3.

When using the Rewrite Engine, the REQUEST_FILENAME doesn't appear to be correctly set when using urls that have PATH_INFO.

For example, the following Rewrite Rules worked fine on earlier versions of LiteSpeed, and they also work fine on other servers such as Apache and Lighttpd:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index\.php/$1 [L,QSA]

However, on LiteSpeed 3, it results in an infinite redirect (and throws a 500 error), because instead of being set to "index.php", the REQUEST_FILENAME is being set to "index.php" + the PATH_INFO.

For now I have done the following which allows the rule to work on LiteSpeed 3:

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index\.php
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index\.php/$1 [L,QSA]

The rewrite engine in LiteSpeed 3 has been changed a little bit to match the behavior of Apache's. We will investigate.

This problem should be fixed in 3.0.3

3.0.3 is available now.
