  This means that URLs like:

  http://example.com/WEB-INF/web.xml

  will return an error message, rather than the contents of the deployment descriptor.

  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/WEB-INF../web.xml

  http://example.com/web-inf../web.xml
