Re: Double Slashes in URL Path

[Steve Swift <Swifty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm no expert in this area, which is perhaps why I've also seen the problem. The upside is that apache seems to ignore the double slashes, but this is probably because the underlying systems do the same. Try typing a file, then change one of the slashes to a double slash; it still types out (both Windows and Linux).

Your first step is to be very clear what is creating the url's. You say they are coming from the client application, but what, exactly, is this? Are the URL's generated by code of some sort (_javascript_/CGI scripts/etc), or simply HTML?

I need some help understanding URLs returned from our WebDAV server.

I have several sites set up using Name Based virtual hosts.

i.e. http://hostname.mydomain.com

I need to be able to send direct links to files. When I use Copy URL from my client application I get a URL that looks like:

http://hostname.mydomain.com//filename

Note double slashes.

I do not have trailing slashes in DocumentRoot or Directory statements.

I need for URLs to be:

http://hostname.mydomain.com/filename


I've searched high and low for an answer and can't find any references to such a problem.
I just replaced the stock Apache with the current release and still have the same results.

Any help would be appreciated.

Mac OS X Server 10.6.8
Server version: Apache/2.2.21 (Unix)
