Apparently back in the early days of the web, a URL like that caused problems with poorly written CGI scripts that blindly opened the PATH_INFO variable. Instead of fixing the scripts, the apache / NCSA HTTPD authors decided to break the URL spec for the rest of forever. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/199612.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 11 years later, the web is still broken (for backwards compatibility, of course). -- package JAPH;use Catalyst qw/-Debug/;($;=JAPH)->config(name => do { $,.=reverse qw[Jonathan tsu rehton lre rekca Rockway][$_].[split //, ";$;"]->[$_].q; ;for 1..4;$,=~s;^.;;;$,});$;->setup; _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
