[Bug 69627] New: Documentation: mod_cgi contains broken link to IETF RFC-3875

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69627

            Bug ID: 69627
           Summary: Documentation: mod_cgi contains broken link to IETF
                    RFC-3875
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.4.63
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: tonejito@comunidad.unam.mx
  Target Milestone: ---

The "CGI Environment variables" section of the mod_cgi documentation for
versions "current" [1], "2.4" [2], and "2.2" [3] has a broken "CGI
Specification" link that directs the user to a 404 page when trying to visit
the IETF RFC-3875 documentation [6].

The correct IETF link for RFC-3875 (as of this report) is [7].

I went and checked the documentation for version 2.0 [4] and it contains a
broken link to NCSA EDU [5]. I think that the correct link on this case is also
[7].

I've patched the entire docs tree (2.4 and trunk) with working RFC links, which
resolves this issue.
