The attribute req.used_path_info should be writable.

Key: MODPYTHON-206
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-206
Project: mod_python
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Affects Versions: 3.3
Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
Assigned To: Graham Dumpleton
Fix For: 3.3
At present, req.used_path_info is read only. This should instead be modifiable
as well.
This attribute gets set when you use the Apache AcceptPathInfo directive. You
might use it for example as:
<Files "mypaths.shtml">
Options +Includes
SetOutputFilter INCLUDES
AcceptPathInfo On
</Files>
In this case use of AcceptPathInfo would be needed as the default-handler for
serving up static files prohibits additional path info by default. Thus, if you
want SSI files to be able to make use of additional path info, you have to
enable it.
In mod_python 3.3, the ability to register filters dynamically just for the
current request means that SSI can be set up from within a fixuphandler using:
def fixuphandler(req):
if os.path.basename(req.filename) == 'mypaths.shtml':
req.add_output_filter('INCLUDES')
return apache.OK
Without req.used_path_info being modifiable though, one can't do the equivalent
to AcceptPathInfo from within the handler. Thus, req.used_path_info should be
modifiable. The values this attribute needs to be set to are already specified
in mod_python.apache
and thus only needs one line change to requestobject.c because value is an
integer. The handler could then be written as:
def fixuphandler(req):
if os.path.basename(req.filename) == 'mypaths.shtml':
req.add_output_filter('INCLUDES')
req.used_path_info = apache.AP_REQ_ACCEPT_PATH_INFO
return apache.OK
