<Location /path/more/> ... AddHandler handler .ext </Location> and then access http://server/path/more/file.ext (thus invoking the handler for .ext files in the location), PATH_INFO will contain /more/file.ext, and not /path/more/file.ext. Apache always removes the first element from the virual path, i.e. a <Location /path/> would result in /file.ext being sent in as PATH_INFO, with the preceding path missing. >How-To-Repeat: No URL avail. >Fix: The problem seems to be in http_request.c. The function get_path_info() will not work correctly if all it finds are directories, but no files. My line 259 says: if (S_ISDIR(r->finfo.st_mode) && last_cp) { r->finfo.st_mode = 0; /* No such file... */ cp = last_cp; } find_path_info() walks backward through the requested path, after it has been mapped to the DocumentRoot (i.e. /opt/docroot/path/more/file.exe in above example), and looks for non-virtual components. It finds /opt/docroot/, and so it sets PATH_INFO (cp in this case) to the last path it examined (minus the document root) which was "/more/file.exe". Removing the line "cp = last_cp" solves the problem in this case, but I'm sure it was there for a good reason! >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
