Re: [Zope-dev] absolute_url(1) doesn't start with a /

absolute_url(1) is supposed to give you the "physical path relative to a VirtualRoot".

However, the returned value doesn't start with a "/", so it is not really a useful relative path.

Is this a bug, or was it designed that way?

(I suspect the answer might be "yes" and "yes" from my point of view :) )

Reference: /lib/python/OFS/Traversable.py

But that *is* a relative path. Paths beginning with a "/" are "site-relative" paths. Arguably, absolute_url should be returning the site-relative path, though. Michael Bernstein.
