This context is implicitly called when the cgi-bin call has a PATH_INFO component,
See section CGI called with PATH_INFO. The PATH_INFO environment
variable is available in the pathname parameter.
The name of the catalog to browse and other parameters are extracted from the
pathcontext_params instruction found in the catalog.conf configuration file,
See section Catalog configuration file.
The pathname parameter is converted to a category id using the catalog_path_<name>
table. Finally, the cbrowse context is called for the category.
It must be noted that the results are not paginated when browsing a catalog in this
way. This restriction is meant to simplify the implementation, in particular for dumping the
catalog in HTML pages.
The handling of symbolic links is different when browsing with pathcontext. With
cbrowse the symbolic links are displayed as normal sub categories. For instance,
if /a/b contains a symbolic link to /c, browsing /a/b to go in /c will show the full path
name /a/b/c. When browsing with pathcontext, going to /c will show the full path
name /c. In other words symbolic links retain their original full path name when browsing
with pathcontext.
