Bug #406

Updated by gstrauss almost 9 years ago

I am evaluating lighttpd-1.4.8 as a replacement for apache2. I am using PHP 5.1.1 on Mac OS X 10.4.3. 

 A show-stopping bug I've discovered is that in many $_SERVER variables, the paths are converted to lowercase. My projects require the user-supplied case to be preserved. Projects in the wild that I can think of that also care about the case of URLs would include MediaWiki. 

 For example, if I have a script Server.php with this contents: 

     <pre><?php print_r($_SERVER); ?></pre> 

 and I try to access it this way: 

     http://fusion.local/rcs/test/Server.php/HelloWorld 

 then the relevant portions of the output are as follows: 

     [[SCRIPT_NAME]] => /rcs/test/server.php 

     [[PATH_INFO]] => /helloworld 

     [[PATH_TRANSLATED]] => /web/fusion/htdocs/helloworld 

     [[SCRIPT_FILENAME]] => /web/fusion/htdocs/rcs/test/server.php 

     [[REQUEST_URI]] => /rcs/test/Server.php/HelloWorld 

     [[ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED]] => /web/fusion/htdocs//helloworld 

     [[ORIG_PATH_INFO]] => /helloworld 

     [[ORIG_SCRIPT_NAME]] => /rcs/test/Server.php 

     [[ORIG_SCRIPT_FILENAME]] => /web/fusion/htdocs/rcs/test/server.php/helloworld 

     [[PHP_SELF]] => /rcs/test/server.php 

 SCRIPT_NAME, PATH_INFO, PATH_TRANSLATED, SCRIPT_FILENAME, ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED, ORIG_PATH_INFO, ORIG_SCRIPT_FILENAME and PHP_SELF have all been improperly converted to lowercase.
