http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43562 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-10-05 09:48 ------- One thing to add to this report is a rather serious side effect this mod_speling/pathinfo bug inadvertently introduces, infinitely recursive uris. Clueless crawlers, which are many, do not notice from the ETAG that they are getting is identical to a resource they already indexed. When parsing a resource for links they accessed with a trailing / and coming across a relative uri they naturally append the relative path to the uri they already have as a resource to crawl. For example: http://www.w3.org/INSTALL.html/Library/src/Library/src/ --> 200 OK http://www.w3.org/INSTALL.html/Library/src/Library/src/Library/src/ --> 200 OK ad nauseam Except as perhaps a teergrube exercise to trap and hold hostage unsuspecting crawlers indefinitely this is generally undesirable.
