From: Zoli Kiss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: mod_include/5300: When server side includes are enabled paths such as: http://server/index.html/foo/foo/ are accepted. Date: Sun, 14 Nov 1999 22:50:52 -0800 (PST) Hi Marc, I didn't realize that I could do searches against each module in the PR database; I guess it was just too late on a Friday night ... I was trying to find the info doing free text searches. Sorry. I've searched through all of the PRs for mod_include, but did not find any answers/solutions. Personally, I don't like Verity all that much, but this problem is possibly related to user error, i.e. links like: http://server/index.html/ Since the site I administer has 20000+ links, I can't catch everything. I don't think that it's Verity's fault when the web server allows links like: http://server/index.html/foo/junk/junk/ This doesn't work when SSIs are turned off. Shouldn't a ? be used to separate a path from path_info? I can't understand why there is a need for this, the standard server config, i.e. without SSIs doesn't allow this behavior. I don't see how a search engine can combat this, and I don't think that this can be blamed on Verity, or any standard spidering tools. Is there no work around for this ? I didn't see an explanation of why there would be a need for: http://server/index.html/foo/foo/ instead of: http://server/index.html?/foo/foo/ Thanks, Zoli --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Synopsis: When server side includes are enabled > paths such as: http://server/index.html/foo/foo/ are > accepted. > > State-Changed-From-To: open-closed > State-Changed-By: marc > State-Changed-When: Fri Nov 12 21:21:47 PST 1999 > State-Changed-Why: > That is correct, and the behaviour is that way on > purpose. > There are lots of ways a spider can be too dumb for > itself; > you can't prevent against stupidity. > > There are numerous other PRs that explain the > reasons for > the behaviour in more detail. > > ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
