http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43372 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-09-15 15:15 ------- Ah. I'd warrant that's because of the difficulty of ensuring that only the last extension is used for invoking a handler. Your solution works, but I wonder if maybe it would just be simpler (especially in terms of documenting behavior) to add a directive that does the same thing, or modifying AddHandler to somehow be able to specify that only the last extension should be used. I think people will always go for the simplest configuration directive that works, so if it comes down to the file matching plus sethandler call vs something as simple as AddType, people will go for the latter. Hate to say it, but the multi-extension behavior really is just not what most people want with CGI-based handlers, and the behavior that people want (and is secure and doesn't break anything else) is what Apache should make the easiest to configure. Just adding a single directive that combines the FilesMatch functionality with the SetHandler behavior would go a long way towards fixing commonly broken setups, perhaps. Something like: SetFileHandler x-foo \.foo$ Duplicate functionality isn't usually a good thing, but if you're really having that many problems with configurations in the wild (which definitely seems to be the case), I'd say it's safe to assume the current mechanisms are just too obtuse. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
