[albatross-users] AppContext.redirect_url() question

[Matt Goodall]

Hi,

Can anyone explain why the method in the subject is fiddling around with 
uri paths? It looks like it's trying to cope with the situation when the 
base uri and the request uri differ but I don't understand why and it's 
probably not quite right, i.e. what happens if the two URIs do not match 
correctly? When would the two URIs be different anyway?

Also, why does Albatross not make use of path info 
(os.environ['PATH_INFO'] in cgi, req.path_info in mod_python; not sure 
for BaseHTTPServer)? I think path info could simplify the parsing and 
building or URLs which has been causing me a few problems today when I 
popped a mod_python app behind a mod_rewrite rule :(.

I'm not being critical, just trying to understand things better.

Thanks, Matt
