[Webware-devel] ExtraPathInfo=1 and URL=/WK/foo/bar fails.

[Stuart Donaldson]

Ian,
You have a much better grasp on the serverSideInfoForRequestNewAlgorithm code than I do. Any chance you can look into this problem?

Setting ExtraPathInfo=1 so that you use the new algorithm.

Then try to access a URL /WK/foo/bar

The first result I get is that an error trying to import the exception handler. This is a side effect of the fact that we have recursed too deep and then called the exception handler and that failed too.Simple
fix for the exception handler problem is just importing the exception handler in the module rather than where it is needed.

Now, the real problem is that /WK/foo/bar translates back to the default context of Examples. We walk backwards in Examples until we arrive at Examples/index.py and call that. Now index.py tries to forward on to the 'Welcome' page. however the include handling is broken there. The Welcome tries to be relative to /WK/foo/bar so it looks for /foo/Welcome which gets cast back to the default context of /Examples/index.py and hence the recursion begins.

If you use the patch for include URL I have on SF, it helps matters when you specify '/Welcome' to make it absolute relative to the top level of the context. Although in this case, I would have expected the extraURLPath to be set to /foo/bar or something like that. In fact the /foo/bar is lost. I'm not sure if this last part is a problem.

Anyway, I would appreciate your input on this, as to wether you think the includeURL fix, combined with changing index.py to forward('/Welcome'). Or is there something else we should be looking at?
