The only other environment variable I have tried is REMOTE_ADDR, and
that does not appear to be doubled.

The problem is with the REMOTE_USER and REMOTE_AUTH variables, which
are set as a result of user authentication by the web browser. Thus,
they don't exist outside of the web server environment.

Since my posting yesterday, I've done a LOT of fiddling around with
this and found a couple of interesting things. First of all, there
was a minor typo in my web page HTML. The closing </HTML> tag was
lacking the last right angle bracket, so it looked like this: </HTML

However, that doesn't seem to have affected the issue at hand.

The second interesting thing is that this error occurs in the
index.py script. If I invoke it implicitly (by pointing my browser
at 127.0.0.1/Test), the REMOTE_USER and REMOTE_AUTH variables are
doubled. But if I invoke it explicitly (by pointing my browser at
127.0.0.1/Test/index.py), the variables are NOT doubled and are
returned correctly. Strange! I hate to say it, but this sounds like
a bug in the Abyss web server.

I have already reported this to Aprelium support.
