AcceptPathInfo fails on DirectoryIndex files
------- Additional Comments From jwoolley@apache.org 2002-05-14 23:02 -------
To what extent does this violate the documentation? The existing behavior seems to match
what is documented as far as I can tell. In particular,
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#acceptpathinfo states:
"This directive controls whether requests that contain trailing pathname information that
follows an actual filename (or non-existent file in an existing directory) will be
accepted or rejected. The trailing pathname information can be made available to scripts
in the PATH_INFO environment variable.
For example, assume the location /test/ points to a directory that contains only the
single file here.html. Then requests for /test/here.html/more and /test/nothere.html/more
both collect /more as PATH_INFO. "
This follows what I'm seeing in debugging, which is that a request for
/existingdirectory/foo/bar (where /foo/bar is supposed to be the PATH_INFO) actually
looks for /existingdirectory/foo with a PATH_INFO of /bar.
Note that this also matches the behavior in Apache 1.3 (which seems to always allow
PATH_INFO):
