#36678 [NEW]: Use of URL like about:config in streams

From: david dot rivron at free dot fr Operating system: PHP version: 5.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Use of URL like about:config in streams Description: ------------ A stream can only be referenced as <scheme>://<target> so URL like "about:config" can not be used. Yet, according to the RFC 3986, the double slash should only appear if what follows is a hiearchical structure (see bug #32535). I have read in the compression streams documentation that this is not allowed to prevent ambiguities with filenames containing ':'. I suggest to reverse this behavior : allowing URL such as about:config and setting a limitation in local files access. Users can easily take off the ambiguities by using "./foo:bar" instead of "foo:bar". -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36678&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36678&r=mysqlcfg
