This is not a bug.

> IF it does

Yes. You're in directory context, so a mapping on the filesystem occures by
walking through the folders level by level (directory walk).

> why does it work after the ".def"

Because for /test.def/: the folder /test.def/ doesn't exist, so r->filename
would be c:/programs/...../test.def and path-info would be the rest, which is
here /:

You don't have a mapping with a character which is not permitted in a filename
in this case.

You might want to use the rules in the server context instead before any
url-to-filename translation occures.
