Lee,
 
You're free to hack the core, so long as the hack leaves the files FB3 compliant. That would let you play around with virtual fuseaction paths. Might be interesting.

Subject: Re: Nesting circuits - does the physical path have to be a subfolder of the ho

Interesting.  I must admit that I had never before seriously considered symbolic links as a potential workaround for separating logical from physical nesting in FB3.  That would mean I can implement my underground "Operation Experiment" app without having to hack the core.  Perhaps it could come out of hiding ;-)

Still, symbolic links - blechhh.  They always end in tears.

no, as usual you're spot on Lee - but i did have to test it, even though i knew it wouldn't work!
 
I used a really simple two circuit app, then moved the child circuit above the application root and created a virtual directory with the same name mapped to the child circuit folder...although on a Win2k server.
 
*HOWEVER for info*
Win2k server does have an equivalent to symbolic links in the guise of "Distributed File System" which can be run in standalone mode without the need for an active directory. It's pretty neat what you can do, redirecting folders on one server to another folder on the same or different server - i haven't tried it but i believe that would work.

I couldn't say for certain, John, not being a frequent IIS user, but I don't think that any web-server mapping would be relevant.  If it were the operating system that had the mapping that might be a different matter.  Symbolic links under Unix should work, for example.

another question on this:

am I right in thinking that the use of virtual folders (e.g. in IIS) to map a folder which is not a physical subfolder of a website to e.g. mysite.com/child would similarly not allow for proper nesting?
