ISSUE-12 (access-control-policy-path): IIS and Access-Control-Policy-Path [Access Control]

Raised by: Anne van Kesteren
On product: Access Control

[[ This issue was created on 2008-06-06 as Issue #25 in the Web Applications Formats (WAF) WG and is copied in totality to the Web Applications WG's Issues database:

    IIS servers have an issue in that resources can be addressed by several distinct URIs as explained in this e-mail:

    http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-appformats/2008May/0039.html

    This impacts the design of Access-Control-Policy-Path to some extent. Two proposals have been put forward by members of the WG to address this issue:

    A. If a URI (also one given during redirects, etc.) contains the "\.." sequence (or the escaped form) apply the generic network error steps.

    B. Warn against using the Access-Control-Policy-Path feature in servers that exhibit this behavior.
