Apache routing broken

Some more information.
Given a Delphi MVC Framework app that outputs a DLL file "mod_FHIRBirdServer.dll" with the these symbols

// Declare exported variable so that Apache can access this module.
var
  GModuleData: TApacheModuleData;
exports
  GModuleData name 'FHIRBirdServer_module';

We have the following entries in the Apache httpd.conf file

# register the module that exports "FHIRBirdServer_module"
LoadModule FHIRBirdServer_module modules/mod_FHIRBirdServer.dll

# set the handler for the base path, this will not work
<Location />
    SetHandler mod_FHIRBirdServer-handler
</Location>

# set the location for a path that will be discarded
<Location /abc/>
    SetHandler mod_FHIRBirdServer-handler
</Location>

Navigating to http://localhost/ does not work, log files show

2023-12-20 07:25:31:108  [TID 1064    ][INFO      ] pathinfo ""
2023-12-20 07:25:31:108  [TID 1064    ][INFO      ] scriptinfo "/" 

Navigating to http://localhost/abc/ does work, log files show

2023-12-20 09:43:08:889  [TID 15224   ][INFO      ] pathinfo ""
2023-12-20 09:43:08:889  [TID 15224   ][INFO      ] scriptname "/abc"

The original page had a link to a css file
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/dist/app.css" />
This shows a 404 not found in the browser dev tools
However the browser can fetch http://localhost/abc/dist/app.css (which is processed via the StaticFiles middleware mapped for a URL path of "/dist"

If you serve static files would be better to use the webserver facilities to do that and not the dmvcframework static files middleware. Just becouse web servers do a very good job doing... well, their job :-)
In such kind of project leave the static file for the web server and the API for dmvcframework. This is a best practice.
