AcceptPathInfo
AcceptPathInfo onoffdefault
Determines if extra information following a valid URL pathname is accepted by the server or not. An off value means that a request is rejected if the pathname doesn't match exactly a server resource. on means that the server ignores the extra path information and returns the resource that will match a valid part of the path. The default setting allows the default handler to determine action. If the resource is a CGI script, extra path info may be allowed, but not if the request is for a file.
