LinuxQuestions.org - Apache and non-existing URL

Hi folks,

i've got the following problem with the apache 1.3.26:

on the server there is a index.html which is shown by the browser typing these url:

Code:

www.example.com/index.html

ok that's fine! when I thy a non-existing URL like this one
url:

Code:

www.example.com/foo/dummy

I get Error 404.

ok that's also fine but what happens when I try this non-existing url???
url:

Code:

www.example.com/index.html/foo/dummy

--> I got my index.html and not an Error 404.

What goes wrong???

thx 4 help
