https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D70096

            Bug ID: 70096
           Summary: URL-path misleading (excludes PATH_INFO)
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.5-HEAD
          Hardware: All
               URL: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/en/mod/directive-d
                    ict.html#Syntax
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P4
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: [email protected]

  Target Milestone: ---

The DPI|discardpath section of the RewriteRule Flags page implies that
PATH_INFO is excluded from the URL-path:
> In per-directory context, the URL-path each RewriteRule compares against =
is the concatenation of the current URL-path and PATH_INFO.
Yet the Syntax section of the Terms Used to Describe Directives page simply
defines a URL-path as follows:
> The part of a URL which follows the scheme, hostname, and optional port, =
but precedes any query string =E2=80=94 for example, /path/to/file.html. Th=
e URL-path represents a web-view of a resource, as opposed to a file-system=
 view.
One would imagine that the URL-path matches the URL path, but that is not
necessarily the case as the latter includes PATH_INFO. Having a misleading =
name
is one thing, but as a minimum prevention from confusion, the definition of
=E2=80=9CURL-path=E2=80=9D  should leave no room for ambiguity. An example =
with a PATH_INFO
would help.
