If sectionname has a period in it, man.cgi fails to retrieve the manpage. Normal queries to man.cgi through man.cgi?query=sectionname works fine with '.'s. See the named.conf(5) link in http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/dns.html for an example. >How-To-Repeat: Try to get: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?named.conf(5) >Fix: Checked out www/en/cgi/man.cgi to attempt to fix problem, only to find: #!/usr/bin/perl -T # Copyright (c) Wolfram Schneider, Berlin.
