OK, it works as in 3.2.8 now, i.e. req.hlist.directory is always normalized.
There is something strange, though, and I cannot verify right now whether it was the same behaviour in 3.2.8. If I request a non-existent page, for example http://localhost/foobar/doesntexists.html, req.filename is C:/apache22/htdocs/foobar, without doesntexists.html. I can understand that req.filename may be invalid if the requested file doesn't exists, but why do I get the non-existent foobar directory if I don't get doesntexists.html ?

Can you check out latest code from subversion trunk and try test again?
Think I have worked out the required magic this time. If have, this
is good
as this will help me solve some of the problems mentioned in:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-161
as well.
Thanks.
