AIX 4.1.4, C for AIX
>Description:
The AddHandler directive (and presumably the other related directives) doesn't
properly match the given extension. It will declare a match if the extension
string appears anywhere in the filename, not just at the end. For example,
given the directive "AddHandler imap-file map", the filename "main.map" will
match, but so will "campus.map.html". This can severely limit the available
namespace for files to be served.
>How-To-Repeat:
http://fire.weeg.uiowa.edu/test/bob-map.html works as expected.
http://fire.weeg.uiowa.edu/test/bob.map.html is processed as an image map
file (the srm.conf file contains the "AddHandler imap-file map" directive).
