Well -- which one here is the filename? By my read of this, it's
'file.jsp' and 'foo.html' just happens to be a url dir node that has a
dot in it.
The set of rules that will be in the spec will not allow extra path info
by definition as any part of the URL path that ends with a '/' character
can *not* be considered a 'file' in the second phase of resolution where
an extension match is attempted. To allow 'foo.html' to be treated as a
file is to invite confusion and complicates matters.
Note that the above will match on a /foo.html path mapping (as path
mappings are agnostic about the differences between 'files' and 'dirs'
-- they just deal with URL path 'chunks'). It just won't match on a
.html mapping.
