My first thought was not unless we really need it, because it's a
potential security hole if somebody finds a way to read it literally.
But on the other hand, it could resolve the issue I raised last week,
that ExtraPathInfo overrides "not found" errors in a nonintuitive way.
What I'd really like is to leave ExtraPathInfo off normally, and turn
it on only in a few certain directories.
Actually, even better would be a way to turn ExtraPathInfo on only
for certain servlets. Would it be possible to have the equivalent of
<Location servlet.py>
<LocationMatch servletPattern.*>
directives to limit settings to certain servlets?
PS. "ExtensionsToTry" is just begging to be renamed to "ExtensionsToFry". :)
