Visit foo/absolute_url and you will find that it "has an empty or missing docstring". Is this by design, or is it just something that nobody has needed? I would like to propose making it callable TTW, unless somebody knows a reason it should not be. I could make use of it in two ways: 1) every now and then I forget that it doesn't work, and I type stuff like http://my_zope_site/foo/bar/baz/absolute_url when I'm not sure if baz is being acquired from foo, from bar, or the site root (or maybe even a CMF skin) and I want to find out quickly. 2) (kind of esoteric) It would be nice to be able to easily get "normalized" URLs from zope objects into non-zope systems that link to Zope content. e.g. today I wished I could tell a JSP developer at my company to use something like <a href="<%= stupidHttpClient('http://zope_server/foo/bar/absolute_url') %>"> (... and yes, we do have something like a stupidHttpClient.) - Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look!
