Hmm, I guess that just shows I didn't really understand what CGI variables are standard and which aren't. After googl'ing a bit, I think this might be a reasonable thing to do as SCRIPT_NAME appears to be more standardized (it's defined in the original CGI specification from the oooooold NCSA http server).
It's funny, when I started looking at the log to figure out why the CGI's were failing it seems that , Jetty does keep the REQUEST_URI internally, but the CGI servlet does not pass the variable to the CGI. (Servlet gap? , I've not checked the servlet code...).
I was not expecting this to be changed. I just wanted to point it out in case somebody else is interested in running Hobbit in Jetty instead of Apache.
I think that other changes that I might do could be considered site dependent customization, but I'll be happy to share them as soon as I'm done. I'm still doing due dilligence on how I want to modify hobbit to be able to monitor a specific application.
I'll keep you posted. :)

Luis
