It was thus said that the Great John Rodenbiker once stated:

Is there a way to have httpd drop requests to URIs that don't actually
exist in my environment?

  It's turned on by default in Apache.  In other words, any content
*outside* of the DocumentRoot is not served up, no matter how many "../" are thrown at the web server. Don't put anything you don't want seen in the
DocumentRoot.

That's good to know, thank you.

The reason I ask is because there is a company trying to sell a "web application firewall" that appears to do just what I asked, except for $9995. Are these guys full of it, or what are they really offering?
