[mimp] Duplicate paths in Login and Delete URLs

[Alex Kuretz]

I think I found something, may be just an issue with the way my server (Dreamhost) works. I found that the Delete url gets constructed differently than the rest of the links in the Menu section; it's created by Util::addParameter which uses Horde::selfUrl.

In Horde::selfUrl, the first check is if the script is running as CGI (I had to recompile php to use Imp on Dreamhost, so it's executing as CGI). The problem occurs when the url is constructed with the script parameters:
        if ($script_params) {
            if (!empty($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'])) {
                if($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] == $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])
                {
//              print "<br><br>Blah!<br><br>\n";
                } else {
                $url .= $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];
                }
            }
            if (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
                $url .= '?' . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
            }
        }

I added the if check for PATH_INFO == PHP_SELF. Basically, the /horde/mimp/message.php (PATH_INFO) was getting appended to $url which already was set to /horde/mimp/message.php (PHP_SELF). My silly fix seems to work for the few cases I tried, and Imp seems to still function ok. Again, not fully tested.

I'm guessing this is an issue due to the way my server is working, or else I'm fixing something that's not really a bug, but is shown due to a problem elsewhere.

Any input would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Alex
