Description:
------------
[line "182"] [id "950103"] [msg "path traversal attack"] [data "../"] [hostname "test.test.rh"] [uri "/contentlounge/updateservice/cms_demo/cms//../cms.php"] [unique_id "UV2MrQoAAGMAAE356XkAAAAF"]


in the folder /cms is a simple index.php with header('Location: ../cms.php');
every normal browser translates path and does not trigger modsec
php triggers the "path traversal"-rule


Expected result:
----------------
call the URL /contentlounge/updateservice/cms_demo/cms/cms.php

Actual result:
--------------
calling the URL /contentlounge/updateservice/cms_demo/cms//../cms.php

RFC 2616 Section 14.30 requires "a single absolute URI." for the location header. Any relative location is not standards compliant.

i know that, but it is not that easy to generate everytime a full qualified URL and since any other http-client translates the ../ PHP should act the same way

RFC 7231 which obsoletes RFC 2616 allows relative references[1],
though. It seems to me that the http:// stream wrappers should
comply.

Still, not a bug, but rather a feature request.
