Hi, I was just writing a wrapper around static html pages on my server so visitors could add comments. ns_register_proc was the chosen method.
I wanted this on /snaps/*/ (but not /snaps itself) and any .html file below. I was getting strange behaviour. Firstly, I would expect "/snaps/*/" to match "/snaps/whistler/", but not "/snaps/", which it also matches. As it is described as "glob style matching", this confuses me, as the Tcl "glob" command doesn't behave that way on directories. More confusing still is that "/snaps/*.html" not only matches "/snaps/whister/m_yvr-01.jpg.html", but also "/snaps/whister/"! I assume that after seeing the request for the directory, AOLserver translates this to "/snaps/whistler/index.html" before looking for a procedure to match it. Strangly, ns_register_filter does not extend the same courtesy to "index.adp", I have not tested if it would for .html files. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature and I don't mind too much, especialy since it saved me from the above described problem. But consistency would be good and if someone gets some time to update the documentation, it would also be worth mentioning.
