Bug ID: 62663
Summary: REQUEST_URI includes query string, contrary to
documentation
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.4.34
Hardware: PC
OS: Mac OS X 10.1
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Core
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
The only documentation I can find for the REQUEST_URI environment variable is
in mod_rewrite’s documentation, which states:
-----
REQUEST_URI
The path component of the requested URI, such as "/index.html". This
notably excludes the query string which is available as its own variable named
QUERY_STRING.
(https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html)
-----
Yet when I print environment variables from a CGI, this variable clearly
includes the query string:

This isn’t actually operating from behind mod_rewrite, so I’m not really sure
why REQUEST_URI is being added to the environment. Regardless, should the
documentation be updated? This would seem to be well-established behavior, such
that I’d think altering REQUEST_URI’s value would do more harm than just
updating the docs.
