http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20036 Trailing Dots stripped from PATH_INFO environment variable ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-10-07 12:11 ------- The problem also strips off trailing dots from any path element: For example, if I call http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.exe/test./test./ PATH_INFO is only set to /test/test/ The same applies to PATH_TRANSLATED. In the source, I found the following in function apr_filepath_merge (filepath.c:626): /* Truncate all trailing spaces and all but the first two dots */ segend = seglen; while (seglen && (addpath[seglen - 1] == ' ' || addpath[seglen - 1] == '.')) { if (seglen > 2 || addpath[seglen - 1] != '.' || addpath[0] != '.') --seglen; else break; } So the stipping of trailing dots seems to be intentional for some reason, yet it was surely written for real file names, not additional information provided for the PATH_INFO variable. As a workaround, I am now using REQUEST_URI and stripping/decoding it appropriately, yet I still think this is a bug in Apache. The problem is still around in Apache 2.0.52, only on Win32, Netware and OS/2. Kerry W.
