Server is running with DocumentRoot = /home/laskavy/www/docs
>Description:
Here is the ktrace(1) output:
413 httpd GIO fd 3 read 7 bytes
"GET /\r"
413 httpd NAMI "/home/laskavy/www/data"
413 httpd NAMI "/.htaccess"
413 httpd NAMI "/home/.htaccess"
413 httpd NAMI "/home/laskavy/.htaccess"
413 httpd NAMI "/home/laskavy/www/.htaccess"
>How-To-Repeat:
run ktrace ./httpd; kdump -l | more under BSD, or truss ./httpd under Solaris
>Fix:
Maybe, this is not a bug, but it seems to me strange that
web server searches for .htaccess files UNDER the DocumentRoo
