this is mostly useful(and semi required) when the dir handler is used in
a location with a path different from / for example /doc.
Without it a request /var/www/index.html (with dir handler with root/var/www) will try to serve file with path /var/www/doc/index.html.
To fix this the new strip setting was added. It will strip a provided
path from the beginning of the requested path.
Setting it to /doc in the above example will give the (expected)
result of serving /var/www/index.html.
