Try:
And I was shocked and dismayed to find out that this actually works. It seems like a huge potential security breach for the unwary, since it is available for any attacker. Granted, access rules are not really intended for security, but it is very easy to assume that they always work, and make decisions with security implications based on that assumption. I read digests, so I only saw Gerd's request for help now; I would expect the right answer to be what the AccessRule product says: """ If an Access Rule is broken, and is preventing normal access, it can be disabled by restarting Zope with environment variable SUPPRESS_ACCESSRULE set. """ Because this is only available to people who can manage Zope anyway. (looking for the exact variable name, I ran into the URL modification trick mentioned under "History"... so I hereby RTFM myself. Well, not really; I have read the FM before, and it wasn't there!) Have fun, Shai.
