[Zope-dev] Re: Weird acquisition behavior of Page Templates

As far as i can tell, if you put a page template anywhere in the URL, it gets rendered no matter what else comes after it in the URL. /my_folder/my_template/foo/bar/baz... no matter what, you get my_template rendered.

I can reproduce it with PageTemplates. It's the same behavior with PythonScripts anywhere in the URL. They are "catch-alls" and deliver the rest of the URL in the "traverse_subpath" of the REQUEST. This can be useful if you want to build "virtual urls". For PythonScripts this behavior is very, very, very useful, but I don't know if this is true for PageTemplates as well. Cheers, Maik
