Well, you could look at the source and find out :-)
Basically, when a servlet engine matches by extension, it passes the string
that matched as the value of getServletPath(), so the JSP engine can tell what
file to read. Some older servlet engines might have passed this in
getPathInfo() instead, so I would not be surprised if the GNUJSP source code
tried to deal with both.
