I am sure I asked this a long time ago, but have forgotten all the
details.
On Win32 systems does req.filename set by Apache always use POSIX
style forward slashes, ie., '/', to separate components of a
directory? Thus:
/some/path
How does Apache indicate a drive letter when one is necessary? Is it:
c:/some/path
Does any of the above change based on whether forward or backward
slashes are used in a Directory directive? Ie.,
<Directory c:/some/path>
...
</Directory?
vs:
<Directory "c:\\some\\path>
...
</Directory>
Or does Apache not allow the latter anyway?
If Apache does allow the latter, does that mean that req.hlist.directory
is coming through set including backslashes rather than forward
slashes.
I want to get my head around this all again as at different times the
values
of req.filename and req.hlist.directory are used to determine the Python
interpreter name. As highlighted in:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-161
If there is a mix of conventions, with user code also being able to
affect
these values, there may be no consistency and thus could end up with
scenarios where a different interpreter to one than was expected will be
used.
Any help from Win32 users in understanding all this would be much
appreciated.
Thanks.
