Eric,

Thank you for this patch, this may end up saving my rear ;-). It does do
a few things wrong however.

If you request http://localhost:8080/dir/path_info, you will get a 404
(tested with Cassini, IIS). If you request
http://localhost:8080/trace.axd/pathinfo, where trace.axd is handled by
a handler (as it is with MS's impl), you do get a page.

We need to figure out the way MS does this.

Also, can you please make sure that this is implemented in System.Web
under MS? I think I tested this before and it was not.
