Trailing Dots stripped from PATH_INFO environment variable

           Summary: Trailing Dots stripped from PATH_INFO environment
                    variable
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.45
          Platform: PC
               URL: Behind Firewall - see description
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_cgi
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: corquinn@us.ibm.com


On Windows Apache is stipping off trailing dots from the PATH_INFO Environment 
Variable.  Our CGI-Application is expecting a complete path and is getting only 
a partial path as it is missing the last dot.  The URL works on our Host 
systems without problem.  We have not tested this on AIX or Linux to see if the 
problem exists there as well.  I have copied the URL and subsequent Environment 
Variables below for reference for both our Windows and MVS systems.  
Unfortunately both URLs are behind a firewall so may not be accessible to you.  
Feel free to query me for any additional information needed.

Thanks,
