DO NOT REPLY [Bug 50395] New: Follow the Windows shortcut

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50395

           Summary: Follow the Windows shortcut
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.3-HEAD
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Platform
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: gege2061@homecomputing.fr


Hello,

I found nothing about this bug. Why the option FollowSymlinks doesn't works on
Windows with the shortcuts?

The symlinks doesn't exist on Windows and create hard links is not trivial.

Changing to enhancement since you want Apache to read and follow windows
shortcuts.  If you want to discuss it, use a mailing list.

FWIW, Junctions are already supported as symlinks.  Nobody has gotten around
to addressing the issue of softlinks yet, since they were introduced so very
late for an otherwise modern operating system.

The correct place to report this is the APR project, but unfortunately I can't
reassign bugs at the moment.  I even suspect there is already an open issue
there.

Closing WONTFIX - I had misread the word shortcut.  Those will not be
supported,
there is no need anymore and plenty of reasons to avoid these.
