>Release:        1.2.1
>Environment:
Server is running on a SunOS 4.1.4 system.
>Description:
When using non absolute URL's the apache server doesn't properly deal
with cgi-bin.  IE a URL that only includes /cgi-bin/foo.cgi ends up 
being interpreted as SERVER_ROOT/htdocs/cgi-bin/foo.cgi, not 
SERVER_ROOT/cgi-bin/foo.cgi

The NCSA httpd 1.5.1 deals with this correctly.
>How-To-Repeat:
create a document that uses something in cgi-bin, but don't use an absolute
URL.
>Fix:
Have the server check to see if the URL is not asolute.  If it isn't check
for cgi-bin.  If you see cgi-bin, fetch SERVER_ROOT/cgi-bin/whatever.cg
