Description:
------------
If the path contains a dot, built-in server assumes it's a file and tries to serve it. Try the test script with the following URLs. Last one will return 404 response but should route to index.php.

$ curl http://localhost:8000/
$ curl http://localhost:8000/O_o
$ curl http://localhost:8000/O.o




Test script:
---------------
<?php
echo "hello, world\n";

Expected result:
----------------
hello, world

Actual result:
--------------
<!doctype html><html><head><title>404 Not Found</title><style>
body { background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; margin: 0; padding:0; }
h1 { font-size: 1.5em; font-weight: normal; background-color: #9999cc; min-height:2em; line-height:2em; border-bottom: 1px inset black; margin: 0; }
h1, p { padding-left: 10px; }
code.url { background-color: #eeeeee; font-family:monospace; padding:0 2px;}
</style>
</head><body><h1>Not Found</h1><p>The requested resource <code class="url">/ba.z</code> was not found on this server.</p></body></html>
