Summary: mod_rewrite ignores trailing dot in request URI on
Windows platform
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.2.14

mod_rewrite log
When the request URI contains a trailing dot, e.g.
"http://localhost/items/Apple_Inc.";, mod_rewrite will not see the dot and treat
the URI as "http://localhost/items/Apple_Inc";.
Given the above request URI and the following mod_rewrite configuration via
.htaccess, the resulting redirect URL is
"http://localhost/detail.html?item=Apple_Inc";, i.e. the trailing dot is lost:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^items/(.*)$ /detail.html?item=$1 [R=301,L,QSA]
This was verified on a blank installation of the non-SSL 2.2.14 Windows
distribution. Conversely, when the same version is built from source on Ubuntu
Linux, the redirection works as intended.
Attached is a corresponding log of the above request with RewriteLogLevel 9.
The problem also appears for series of dots. If dots are followed by a
non-alphanumeric character such as a forward slash, the dots disappear and only
the slash prevails. If dots are followed by an alphanumeric character, they
remain.
