Nasty ajax problem with malformed URL (solution)

[jonndoe45]

 

I found this one the hard way

 

if you have call a url in js something like www.test.com/test.php?id=5

 

the above is fine, no problem

 

www.test.com/test.php/?id=5

 

this is also works (not good though and a typo), it works but with your next httprequest what happens is it doesn't get what you expect but you get the last page not the xml docco you expected
