Hi,

I took a look at the code and your modified version.  With regard to
handling absolute URLs, I guess I'm not convinced that using DOCUMENT_ROOT
is the right thing to do.  WebKit can't really return the server side path
of an absolute URL, since that URL may not even be handled by WebKit --
it all depends on your adapter and webserver configuration.  And it's not
even possible for WebKit to determine whether it will handle the URL or not,
so returning any path at all seems to be hopelessly misleading.

The only thing that WebKit can reliably do is produce a server side path
relative to the request (this is taken right from the docstring of the
method in question).  I think the right thing to do may be to disallow 
absolute paths by raising an exception. 

peace,
Jason
