by Hi all.
While trying to do some semi-intelligent SSI-Documents (including
parsing of $DOCUMENT_PATH_INFO and $QUERY_STRING...) I found
two oddities / problems with the Apache (1.3.0).
Lets assume in my Document-Root are two files: index.html and test.html.
If I access the following URL:
http://localhost/index.html/../test.html
Apache interprets the "index.html"-part as a directory and returns the
file "test.html". This would be correct, if "index.html" is a directory,
but in this case IMHO it would be more useful to return "index.html" and
set the DOCUMENT_PATH_INFO to "/../test.html"
There is a somehow related problem with Server-Side Includes. If "index.html"
contains the command:
<!--#include virtual="./include/inc.shtml" -->
and the URL http://localhost/index.html is requested everything works
fine. But if
http://localhost/index.html/foo/
is requested, the SSI-Statement fails (I believe it tries to include
/index.html/foo/include/inc.shtml).
IMHO the <!--#include virtual... --> Statement should be interpreted
relative to current document ($SCRIPT_NAME).
The Problem for me is, that I have to refer to files in a higher
directory (virtual="../include/foo.shtml") and file does not
permit ".."'s...
Any Ideas/comments?
Thanks,
Simon
