At line /rc/bin/rc-httpd/rc-httpd:77 the variable `location` is
computed as follows:

…
location=`{echo $REQUEST_URI | sed 's;\?.*;;'}
location=`{echo $location | sed '
	s;[^/]+/\.\./;/;g
	s;/\./;/;g
	s;//+;/;g
'}
…

Does anyone know why `sed` is used twice to derive the variable
`location`?  In other words, why isn't `location` computed using
a single invocation of `sed` like this:

…
location=`{echo $REQUEST_URI | sed '
	s;\?.*;;
	s;[^/]+/\.\./;/;g
	s;/\./;/;g
	s;//+;/;g
'}
…

The result should be the same, or am I missing something?  The
advantage of this change is one less invocation of `sed` for each http
request.

Here an the git/importable patch:
