Get a Zope 2.5.0 and put a VirtualHostMonster on your root folder (give it any id).

Then put a pythonScript called 'theUrl' on your root with the contents:
>>>
return container.REQUEST.URL
<<<

then visit the following url:
http://localhost.localdomain:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/example.org:80/VirtualHostRoot/_vh_zopeRoot/theUrl

It will display:

http://example.org//zopeRoot/theUrl

whereas in Zope 2.4.x it will display

http://example.org/zopeRoot/theUrl

Which is the desired behaviour.

This bug is problematic because the RewriteRule directives that are documented in SiteAcces2 for publishing Zope root on apache folder suddenly don't work anymore (specially the regex based ones).

Also, URLs that don't include the 'http://server' part (such as the ZMI link in Zope default index_html) suddenly start with //zopeRoot, which, to the browser, looks like zopeRoot is a server name (which is correct according to RFC 1808).
