在Apache Web Server的URL末尾获取参数

Question

I have a URL with the following syntax:

https://www.domain.com/pay/a1b2c

In the /pay directory I have a simple payment form. I am using JavaScript to get the URL appendix a1b2c and process it in order to get further data to display in the payment form:

var url = window.location.href;
var appendix = url.split("/").pop();
...

But if I open the URL in the browser, Apache says (of course):

Not Found
The requested URL /pay/a1b2c was not found on this server.

How can I solve this problem? Which Apache config do I need?

Answer 1

I found a solution by asking humbedoo on the Apache Mailing list:

You can use AcceptPathInfo in order to get the appendix.

For example, assume the location /test/ points to a directory that contains only the single file here.html. Then requests for /test/here.html/more and /test/nothere.html/more both collect /more as PATH_INFO.
