[Zope] Subsiting.

[Andreas Kostyrka]

Hi!

I've created a subsite patch for Zope 2.0.0a3.
The usage is easy, just add a E=ZOPE_DROP_FOLDER:num, to the RewriteRule,
where n is the number of ids to drop.

So for example, the following RewriteRule is correct:
<VH www.photoderm.at>
...
RewriteRule ^/(.*)
/home/httpd/htdocs/cgi/mtg/mtg.cgi/sites/photoderm.at/$1
[e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,E=ZOPE_DROP_FOLDER:2,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l]
...
</VH>

This way, Zope drops 2 folders (/sites/photoderm.at) in the beginning.

Something like this should probably be included with the standard
distribution. This patch doesn't change a thing in the normal path
processing, it does munge the REQUEST only when ZOPE_DROP_FOLDER is
activated.

Andreas
