>Description:
I have an environment in which there is a virtual host defined with an Aliased path from /some/dir to /, and DirectoryIndex set to look for index.cgi. When a script POSTs with an action set to "/" (where index.cgi resides), the request appears as having been a GET method.

I sent this in once before, but didn't see it in a complete search through GNATS.

recreate the environment - reasonably simple
