Jeremy,
I found your old message with this title. I struck the same thing,
where the current drive wasn't the same as the drive I wanted to
serve (some) files from. So here's the patch to add to
lib/mongrel/handlers.rb contains class DirHandler. I added two
things, first to initialize:
def initialize(path, listing_allowed=true, index_html="index.html")
@abs = path == "/" # Absolute paths are allowed
@path = File.expand_path(path)
...
next to method can_serve, which should start with this:
def can_serve(path_info)
req_path = HttpRequest.unescape(path_info)
# Add path prefix, except to absolute Windows paths:
req_path = File.join(@path,req_path) if ([EMAIL PROTECTED] || req_path
=~ %
r{\a[A-Z]:[/^\\]}i)
# Expand it to an absolute path:
req_path = File.expand_path req_path
if File.exist? req_path
....
Essentially this says if absolute paths are allowed and path_info has
a drive letter, don't add the initial path.
This should get into an official mongrel release sometime...
