 Configuring AOLserver
 =====================
 
+NOTE: AOLserver does not seem to handle "URL encoded" character values
+NOTE: properly when such values appear in the path before the query string.

 To configure applications for AOLserver, edit the server's configuration file
 (eg. config.tcl) so that definitions similar to the following are present in
 the "CGI interface" section:
 
 ns_section "ns/server/${servername}/module/nscgi"
-ns_param   map "GET  /cgi /home/paulb/Software/Python/WebStack/examples/CGI" ;# CGI script file dir (GET).
-ns_param   map "POST /cgi /home/paulb/Software/Python/WebStack/examples/CGI" ;# CGI script file dir (POST).
+ns_param   map "GET  /cgi/simple /home/paulb/Software/Python/WebStack/examples/CGI/SimpleHandler.py" ;# CGI script file (GET).
+ns_param   map "POST /cgi/simple /home/paulb/Software/Python/WebStack/examples/CGI/SimpleHandler.py" ;# CGI script file (POST).
