Bug ID: 70030
Summary: mod_rewrite reference summary: “operates on the full
URL path, including the path-info section.” confusing
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.5-HEAD
Hardware: All
URL: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/en/mod/mod_rewrite
.html
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P3
Component: Documentation
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
The Summary of the mod_rewrite reference contains:
> mod_rewrite operates on the full URL path, including the path-info section.
This is confusing on a few levels:
1. "mod_rewrite" displays as a link to itself.
2. “the full URL path” is not clear. If "URL path" means the URL-path, rewrite
rules do not always operate on the (full) URL-path.
3. “the path-info section” is unclear. "pathinfo" lowercase has a meaning very
different from what this must mean in PHP:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pathinfo.php
This must mean the portion which forms PATH_INFO. It would be clearer to link
to some definition of path-info or to
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/env.html#path-info
The CGI RFC defines PATH_INFO using "portion" rather than "section":
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3875#section-4.1.5
I think it is best to leave RewriteRule documentation treat that and just drop
that sentence.
