An absolute URI request contains more information than a regular request- there is an explicit scheme for accessing the URI resource. Moving the scheme to wsgi.url_scheme during a normalization is probably not appropriate, as merely requesting an absolute URI does not change some basic truths about the request (SERVER_PORT, scheme used to issue the overall request, etc.). Dropping the scheme on the floor quite possibly changes the meaning of the request. _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list Web-SIG@python.org Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
