[New-bugs-announce] [issue17324] SimpleHTTPServer serves files even if the URL has a trailing slash

[Larry Hastings]

New submission from Larry Hastings:

To reproduce:

1) Create a file called "foo.txt" in the local directory, put whatever you like in it.
2) Run "python -m SimpleHTTPServer" or "python3 -m http.server".
3) Point your web browser at "http://127.0.0.1:8000/foo.txt/".
4) Note that the server has served the contents of "foo.txt" as "foo.txt/".  It shouldn't do that!

Reproduced with 2.7.3, 3.2.3, and 3.3.0.  I assume it's still there in trunk.
