[mod_cgi] cgi.local-redir = [enable|disable] (#2108, #2793)
new directive cgi.local-redir = [enable|disable]
*disable* RFC3875 6.2.2 local-redir by default.
(behavior change from when local-redir support added in lighttpd 1.4.40)
The reason for this behavior change is that CGI local-redir support
(RFC3875 6.2.2) is an optimization. Absence of support may result in
additional latency in servicing a request due the additional round-trip
to the client, but that was the prior behavior (before lighttpd 1.4.40)
and is the behavior of web servers which do not support CGI local-redir.
However, enabling CGI local-redir by default may result in broken links
in the case where a user config (unaware of CGI local-redir behavior)
returns HTML pages containing *relative* paths (not root-relative paths)
which are relative to the location of the local-redir target document,
and the local-redir target document is located at a different URL-path
from the original CGI request.
