serving resources in the '/WEB-INF' and '/META-INF' directories of a web application archive

This means that URLs like:

However, some application or web servers / products are prone to a vulnerability that exposes this
information if the client requests a URL like this instead:

http://example.com/<semicolon>/web-inf/web.xml
