And it works correctly.
It doesn't - but then it's acedemic,
If HTTP_HOST is set to example.com, and SCRIPT_NAME is set to /cgi-bin/sqwebmail, then sqwebmail will correctly generate its own URL as http://example.com/cgi-bin/sqwebmail, in accordance with CGI 1.1, whose official definition you can find at http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/env.html, which is considered to be the authoritative reference for CGI 1.1
Specifically, note the definition of SCRIPT_NAME:
SCRIPT_NAME - A virtual path to the script being executed, used for self-referencing URLs.
Therefore, if a CGI application receives a SCRIPT_NAME that does not really refer to the script itself, then this particular CGI implementation is BROKEN by definition. A similar statement can also be extrapolated for HTTP_HOST as well.
sqwebmail works correctly as a CGI application. You're just trying to make it work in a non-CGI compatible environment.
