[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-206?page=all ]
Work on MODPYTHON-206 started by Graham Dumpleton. > 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 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
