Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61286&edit=1 ID: 61286 Comment by: lostcodder at gmail dot com Reported by: galacticvoid+php at gmail dot com Summary: If the trailing path that follows a script contains a dot PATH_INFO is not set Status: Wont fix Type: Bug Package: Built-in web server Operating System: OSX PHP Version: 5.4.0 Assigned To: laruence Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Sometimes i want to download some script and start to debug it fast on PHP built-in server. But if url consists of ".html" postfix it doesnt work. Error 404. Please fix it. Fast deploing of scripts on built-in server is very important part of debugging process! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-09-23 21:44:20] developer at maurice-meyer dot de I fully understand the point of the built-in server to be for debugging and testing purposes only and not for production, which makes bugs and issues lower priority than on production systems. But it leads the purpose of its functionality for testing and debbuing ad absurdum if the behaviour is totally different in the built-in, so I really do not see any reason why this is a wontfix. @laruence: "Built-in server will consider it as a static file request if there is a dot in the SCRIPT_NAME." Why is that? I guess this could be changed to reflect the functionality it has when its not running as built-in server? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-05-25 19:40:57] lotyrin at gmail dot com I don't intend for the PHP internal server to have any additional features, however I do expect its existing features to function regardless of if my routes contain a dot. I haven't made the mistake of placing the PHP internal server into production use, just perhaps the mistake of placing it into use at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-30 20:22:33] krakjoe@php.net The internals team have no interest in developing a fully featured, production ready web server. The CLI web server is only a development server, it does what is necessary for us to run tests, and you can use it for some testing. Any product that decides to deploy the CLI server as if it were a production ready server is doing so mistakenly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-03-30 15:58:48] contato at nemostein dot com dot br This doesn't make any sense... What is the point of letting the router run but not filling the data correctly?! The router become useless in so many situations because of this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-01-02 03:06:59] dusan dot maliarik at gmail dot com Here https://github.com/getgrav/grav-plugin-admin/issues/3 apparently there are apps that are forced to include special case for the built-in web server, because it doesn't behave like expected. That kind of counters the goal of it, right? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
