Bug ID: 65073
Summary: <LocationMatch> claims consecutive slashes were not
matched, while MergeSlashes claims the opposite
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.5-HEAD
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
Reporter: calestyo@scientia.net
Target Milestone: ---

Hey.

in mod/core.html...

- <Location> AND <LocationMatch> BOTH claim in their paragraphs "Note about /
(slash)", that consecutive slashes were NOT merged in the regex-version AND the
non-regex-version for proxy requests.

to the contrary:
- MergeSlashes (which defaults to ON), claims that multiple slashes would be
merged, at least also in the regex-versions (specifically mentioning
<LocationMatch> ... and ignoring proxy requests).


What is it now?


Marking this issue as majoir, since the wrong documentation can IMO easily
trick people into setting up wrong access controls.


Cheers,
Chris.
