Apache specific versions of os.path(posixpath/ntpath) path manipulation
functions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MODPYTHON-192
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-192
Project: mod_python
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: core
Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
The Apache req.filename attribute on UNIX is POSIX compatible and so the
posixpath routines can be used to manipulate it. Most importantly, using
os.path.normpath() produces a result which can be assigned back to req.filename.
On Win32 however, the ntpath routines produce paths which use back slashes and
because req.filename is always maintained with forward slashes assigning the
results of os.path.normpath() may cause issues if assigned back to req.filename
when it is interpreted by Apache or handlers in other modules.
What may be useful is to add to 'mod_python.apache' equivalent functions to
many of the functions in os.path but which when used on req.filename always
result in paths which can in turn be assigned back to req.filename.
Thus, if assigning to req.filename, would use:
from mod_python import apache
req.filename = apache.normpath(__file__)
If one simply assigned __file__ to req.filename on Win32, there would be back
slashes in the path.
