Hmmm... interesting points... However I almost completely disagree. The only part of URL implicit acquisition that I have a problem with is acquiring from outside the VHost, but if you plan properly, you can even avoid this.
I have written several sites that use this feature, and I have found no significant problems with it, and as for it being a problem for caching proxies, many of the objects that get acquired are dynamic, and provide different content based on context, so multiple cache entries is the correct answer.

How do you test your site to make sure that every possible url (not just the ones you link to) do not give out misinformation. Some specific problems that I have encountered: 1. Content that crosses between virtual hosts. If two different virtual hosts come from the same zope then it is possible to construct a URL so that content from one site appears under the hostname (and https certificate!) of another. 2. A page that uses a mix of context and containment If a page is built up with some content found from its context, and other content from containment, then it is possible to construct a URL so that apparently related information comes from unrelated objects. Imagine a medical imaging database, where it was possible for a page do display the wrong patient name above an image. My conclusions are: a. implicit acquisition is dangerous b. acquisition that searches outside the containment hierarchy is evil. Im not keeping up with Zope 3 development..... how does Zope 3 handle acquisition? _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ) _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
