I tried setBase with an empty string, but it insisted on adding a slash. Why can this not be disabled? Well, the only way is to include a BASE tag (possibly) in your HTML.

Hmm, I tried that. It worked in that it suppressed the BASE tag, but failed in that it basically broke the entire site. Apparently, Zope does not issue a redirect for:

http://some.site/foo/Folder

to:

http://some.site/foo/Folder/

<rant>

It really, really, really should redirect that. It is really silly to have to put in a Base tag, and that makes it extremely difficult to do some things like mirroring or virtual hosting. Well, it's not just the BASE tag: ZOPE always needs to know to exact activation: ZOPE is dynamic, and some Products (like Confera) and the <dtml-var> tag for Image do create absolute URLs.

Trust me, subhosting is not something you want to do at the current state of affair with Zope. Andreas -- Andreas Kostyrka | andreas@mtg.co.at phone: +43/1/7070750 | phone: +43/676/4091256 MTG Handelsges.m.b.H. | fax: +43/1/7065299 Raiffeisenstr. 16/9 | 2320 Zwoelfaxing AUSTRIA
