This page works for me as expected - I added a form with method=post, and  
another form with action={$ScriptUrl}?n={$FullName}. Both work, and the  
latter should behave exactly like when $EnablePathInfo is not set.

When I submit the forms, I land on the same page.

Note that the very first form action in the page is not correct, there is no  
such url Test.Form -- a browser interprets this as a file in the same  
directory as the current one -- before the last "/" in the URL, so it  
attempts to go to http://pmwiki.qdk.org/pmwiki.php/Test/Test.Form.

No, I don't.
