Ok, I think I found a fix for it, but it's not a change in VHM. As I mentioned in a follow-up to Zope bug 235, there is an inconsistency in lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPRequest.py in HTTPRequest.setVirtualRoot() The attached patch (also in the bug report) explains what this inconsistency is and seems to fix the VHM problem, but I don't know what other side-effects it has. The 'utilities/testrunner.py -a' seems to run ok. On Wed, 2002-02-20 at 16:29, Leonardo Rochael Almeida wrote:
Hi guys,
I bring to your attention the bug "235":http://collector.zope.org/Zope/235 in the Zope collector, which I just posted.
Apparently VHM is inserting exactly one spurious '/' in urls when the _vh_folder syntax is used. The problem seems to be in the VirtualHostMonster.__call__ method at lib/python/Products/SiteAccess/VirtualHostMonster.py, which has changed a lot relative to the 2.4.x version, however I couldn't make head or tails of that algorithm, so I wouldn't know how to fix it.
This problem is seriously hampering our deployment of Zope 2.5.0 on clients, since most of the time we publish the root of the site from a Zope Folder and need the _vh_folder syntax to access the real Zope root for manteinance.
Cheers, Leo
PS: since we're talking about the collector, I'll also plug the other but I posted there "http://collector.zope.org/Zope/167", which talks about a problem with SuperFind() and includes a simple fix. It's still pending...
