traverse_subpath works for me just fine. if you placed the 'tst' python script in your root folder (and this script contains the line "return str(traverse_subpath)" ) you should get:

http:/your.web.site/tst -> should return an empty list []

http:/your.web.site/tst/folderA -> should return: ['folderA']

http:/your.web.site/tst/folderB/folderC -> should return ['folderB', 'folderC']

What version of zope are you running? (I am running zope 2.9.2 on a linux box).

You're going to be disappointed, but whenever I substituted in any number of valid folders, I got the same result:

[]

an empty set!
