Re: JetForce vs. Molly Brown Server: CGI-variable SCRIPT_NAME is not present

Thank you very much Robert!

The reason why i have not considered gemserv is that it is written in 
/rust/ another language to which my exposure is NULL!

And the instructions on your website scared me off: As said, i am not a 
rust developer and there are none of the rust tools installed on any of my 
machines, so i would have to install the basic rust toolchain first…
