I am running a PHP 7.3 application on IIS using the FastCGI handler to execute the files. When requesting URLs which end on *.php in the browser, everything works fine.
However, some paths of the application look like this: http://my-site.com/image.php/my_image_name.png, i.e., there is some more content after the file name of the PHP file, which is not a query string. For these URLs, IIS always responds with HTTP 404 and the message "No input file specified."
How can I fix this behavior?
