> The getActionMappingName method in taglib.html.FormTag.java trims all extensions 
> "on the theory that extension mapping is being used to select the controller 
> servlet". In practice, it can be useful to have an action return a dynamic page 
> of a type mapped to a certain extension (.txt, .pdf, .xls) so that it can be 
> saved to the client's file system. Even with the content/type set, browsers will 
> save pages differently based on the extension. An action that uses a /do/* 
> prefix and some extension works fine with through a hyperlink, but fails with a 
> form. (So at least there is a workaround.) The test for prefix/suffix mapping 
> should be generalized and applied in getActionMappingName and in 
> getActionMappingURL. This has been the behavior since the beginning, but if 
> there is a 1.0.2, we might classify it as a bug.
