[Bug 70030] mod_rewrite reference summa ry: “operates on the full URL path, includi ng the path-info section.” confusing

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70030

--- Comment #3 from Philippe Cloutier <[email protected]> ---
Apologies, I just found the following:
> By convention, in http and https URIs, the last part of a path is named pathinfo and it is optional. It is composed by zero or more path segments that do not refer to an existing physical resource name (e.g. a file, an internal module program or an executable program) but to a logical part (e.g. a command or a qualifier part) that has to be passed separately to the first part of the path that identifies an executable module or program managed by a web server; this is often used to select dynamic content (a document, etc.) or to tailor it as requested (see also: CGI and PATH_INFO, etc.).
However, this comes from the English Wikipedia and is unsourced, so it's worth
what it's worth. IF this is reliable, perhaps this could be “including the
pathinfo (PATH_INFO variable) or query string (QUERY_STRING)”. But given the
risk of confusion with PHP pathinfo(), I would rather link to our definition of
URL-path and leave that precision there.
