-Subject: [PATCH] SoupServer: fix to not allow smuggling ".." into path
-
-When SoupServer:raw-paths was set (the default), it was possible to
-sneak ".." segments into the path passed to the SoupServerHandler,
-which could then end up tricking some handlers into retrieving
-arbitrary files from the filesystem. Fix that.
