Summary: relative paths are not handled correctly
Status: Not a bug
Type: Bug
Package: Built-in web server
Operating System: Windows
PHP Version: 5.4.22
Block user comment: N
Private report: N
New Comment:
When you browse '/application', the web browser has no way of knowing that
'application' is a directory. It looks like a file in '/'. Consequently, the
base URI is '/', so the browser requests resources relative to there. The correct path you
should be viewing from is '/application/'. Therefore, it's a web server's
responsibility, whenever a directory is requested without a trailing slash, to send a redirect so
that it does have a trailing slash. Apparently this vital redirect isn't being sent. I'm
not familiar with PHP's built-in web server so I can't say if this missing redirect is a
bug in the server or a configuration or user error.

"Browsers interpret relative URLs relative to the current URL ..."
The current URL is "http://localhost:90/updater" not "http://localhost:90/".
On the screenshot you see, that i get a http code 200 for browsing into the subdir. Then <link
href="assets/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet"> should resolve to http://localhost:90/updater/assets/css/bootstrap.css,
but it's requested as http://localhost:90/assets/css/bootstrap.css
- logged as "/assets/css/bootstrap.css" - the file is at
/updater/assets/css/bootstrap.css.
Putting http://localhost:90/updater in front of the href
works, but thats not what i want to use, because the page is served with Nginx. And that works...

These paths have to be resolved b the browser, not PHP as server. Browsers interpret relative URLs
relative to the current URL ...

Description:
------------
I believe that relative paths are not handled correctly by the embedded server.
I have this in my index.html file:
<link href="assets/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
The file resides in /www/application.
Served by php -S localhost:90 -t c:\www.
When i browse http://localhost:90/application the css
is not loaded.
The URL is not resolved to http://localhost:90/application/assets/css/bootstrap.css,
but http://localhost:90/assets/css/bootstrap.css.
Resulting in a resource not found error.
The domain/URI of the current document is not taken into account.

12.4.1 Resolving relative URIs
3)"By default, the base URI is that of the current document.
The base URI is not the the root of the server.
