gitweb testing with non-apache web server

I would like to use gitweb with the Cherokee web server because the host that I have on hand has very limited RAM, 32MiB. Neither the version of gitweb available on Debian (v264) nor the latest in the git repo works.

I did some debugging on the latest repo version.  The lines

  our $project = ($cgi->param('p') || $ENV{'PATH_INFO'});
  if (defined $project) {
     ...

are being executed even though the url is

  http://server/git

I think that the problem is that Cherokee translates the request URL into

  http://server/git/

which means that the $ENV{'PATH_INFO'} is the string "/" insted of being undefined.

The error I'm seeing is that the request path is forbidden, but I suspect that this is some sort of misunderstanding between the web server and the script.

So, I wonder if someone who has a working gitweb would be willing to test with Cherokee or some other resource conservative web server.

Cheers.
