buffer_simplify_path() no longer prepends '/' if '/' is missing.
Callers must check for leading '/' depending on use, such as in
concatenation with others paths, or direct use accessing filesystem
Note: lighttpd 1.4.50 provides the server.http-parseopts directive.
Recommended settings unless specific use requires looser settings:
server.http-parseopts = (
"header-strict" => "enable",
"host-strict" => "enable",
"host-normalize" => "enable",
"url-normalize" => "enable",
"url-normalize-unreserved" => "enable",
"url-normalize-required" => "enable",
"url-ctrls-reject" => "enable",
"url-path-2f-decode" => "enable",
"url-path-dotseg-remove" => "enable",
"url-query-20-plus" => "enable"
)

As noted in the link above, mod_access should be preferred instead
of mod_rewrite for access controls to URLs.
