http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30677 trailing slash redirects shall affect aliases, too Summary: trailing slash redirects shall affect aliases, too Product: Apache httpd-2.0 Version: 2.0.50 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: mod_dir AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Taken from the "Apache Module mod_dir" Documentation (http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_dir.html): #### Start quotation "A "trailing slash" redirect is issued when the server receives a request for URL http://servername/foo/dirname where dirname is a directory. Directories require a trailing slash, so mod_dir issues a redirect to http://servername/foo/dirname/."; #### Stop quotation Again, taken from the "Apache Module mod_alias" Documentation (http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_alias.html): #### Start quotation "Note that if you include a trailing / on the url-path then the server will require a trailing / in order to expand the alias. That is, if you use Alias /icons/ /usr/local/apache/icons/ then the url /icons will not be aliased." #### Stop quotation The only known workarround for this is to define BOTH: An Alias for /icons AND /icons/ But even if you do so, apache tells something like the following when started/stoped: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# apachectl start [Sun Aug 15 16:05:01 2004] [warn] The Alias directive in /etc/httpd/aliases.conf at line 2 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias. That's not very elegant, is it? It's especially very discontenting, because the allready existing module mod_dir shall solve exactly that problem, but is ignored for aliases. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
