Re: Apache/WARP connector/trailing slash
I wanted to know the same thing, so I went out and looked at the code base
to understand why.

Ok, if you do not want to have to supply the trailing slash, you need to
keep the following in mind. The webapp module attaches itself to Apache in
such a way that Apache asks the webapp module if it will handle or decline a
request that Apache receives. For every request that Apache passes on to
the webapp module, the webapp module searches its list of applications to
see if it will handle the request. The slower this matching process is, the
slower Apache becomes.
I got this to work using the source distribution
webapp-module-1.0.1-tc401-src.tar.gz. Mind you, I'm on Mac OS X, but that
shouldn't matter any bit. Take a good look at the wam_match() function in
mod_webapp.c found in jakarta-tomcat-connectors/webapp/apache-1.3. You will
notice that the requested uri is compared against the WebAppDeploy's request
path. Note that when the WebAppDeploy directive is processed, the request
path is normalized to begin with '/' and end with '/'. So it doesn't matter
whether you have
WebAppDeploy examples warpConnection /examples
Or WebAppDeploy examples warpConnection /examples/
So if you do not want to have to type the trailing slash, you could modify
the wam_match() function to allow this.
I didn't spend that much time with this, but it currently SEEMS to be
working (I performed hardly any testing!!!) The details of what I changed
follow:
I changed
elem=host->apps;
while(elem!=NULL) {
appl=(wa_application *)elem->curr;
if (strncmp(appl->rpth,r->uri,strlen(appl->rpth))==0) break;
appl=NULL;
elem=elem->next;
}
if (appl==NULL) return(DECLINED);
to look like this
elem=host->apps;
while(elem!=NULL) {
register int slen;
appl=(wa_application *)elem->curr;
slen = strlen(appl->rpth);
if( strncmp( appl->rpth, r->uri, slen) == 0 ) break;
if( slen >= 2 && strncmp( appl->rpth, r->uri, slen - 1 ) == 0 )
break;
appl=NULL;
elem=elem->next;
}
if (appl==NULL) return(DECLINED);

You are right: I'm using webapp as DocumentRoot for that virtual host, so
/examples sub physically exist.
Thanks for the explanation !

That's not necessary Adrian,
I bet you have an examples directory in your Apache document root. When I
create such a directory, I get the behavior you are talking about. The
following most likely happens:
1) Submittal of uri /examples to Apache
2) Apache asks mod_webapp if it will handle this uri
3) mod_webapp declines
4) Apache notices the examples directory in document root and rewrites uri
with trailing slash
5) Apache must then ask mod_webapp if it will handle this uri
6) mod_webapp accepts the uri.
Adrian, change your WebAppDeploy to use /examples/ and I bet it still works
for you.
Marc.

Hi Marc,
I am using :
#WebAppDeploy examples warpConnection /examples and it works fine.
If as you stated TC is looking for URL "/../", I can only think that it is
working because my Apache (1.3.22) is somehow adding the trailing slash when
not found.
I dont't know if there is a simple configuration in httpd.conf to get this
automatic redirection to work or is a 1.3.22 issue.
You can can send me your httpd.conf, if you like, and I'll try to find the
differences.
