In #5337 we forced the path encoding to ASCII-8BIT to prevent static
file handling from blowing up before an application has had chance to
deal with possibly invalid urls. However this has a negative side
effect of making it an incompatible encoding if the application's
public path has UTF-8 characters in it.
To work around the problem we check to see if the path has a valid
encoding once it has been unescaped. If it is not valid then we can
return early since it will not match any file anyway.
Fixes#13518
This commit inverts the precedence in ActionDispatch::Static so that
dynamic content will be served before static content. This is so that
precompiled assets do not inadvertently get included when running in
development mode - it should have no effect in production where static
files are usually handled by the web server.
Closes#6421
Windows doesn't allow `\ / : * ? " < > |` in filenames so create
the fixture files at runtime and ignore the incompatible ones when
running on Windows.
RFC 3986[1] allows sub-delim characters in path segments unencoded,
however Rack::File requires them to be encoded so we use URI's
unescape method to leave them alone and then escape them again.
Also since the path gets passed to Dir[] we need to escape any glob
characters in the path.
