OK.  The last / is missing in the documentation for FastCGI on

    http://fsck.com/rtfm/article.html?id=2

That works a lot better, but for non-HTML content, such as

    http://rt/NoAuth/images/rt.jpg

When using mod_perl, the Content-Type is properly set:

wget -S http://rt/NoAuth/images/rt.jpg
--13:14:06--  http://rt/NoAuth/images/rt.jpg
           => `rt.jpg'
Resolving rt... done.

However, using FastCGI with ScriptAlias / /path/to/rt2/bin/mason_handler.fcgi/,
the Content-Type is incorrect: text/html:

it1% wget -S http://rt/NoAuth/images/rt.jpg
--13:14:24--  http://rt/NoAuth/images/rt.jpg
           => `rt.jpg'

It looks like the handler is handling everything, not just HTML content.
