Currently my group has a Django server set up on Ubuntu 8, using Apache, 
Django, Python and mod_python. We are planning to set up a new server to 
replace this one. The new server will be running updated versions of the 
software the current server is running. 
For example, Ubuntu 12 will be used, Django will be updated from 1.3 to 1.5, 
and Python will be updated to 2.6 or 2.7
One thing that will change is that instead of mod_python, we will be using 
mod_wsgi. This is largely due to the fact that as of version 1.5, Django has 
removed mod_python support, instead using mod_wsgi 
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/internals/deprecation/#id2).
The problem is that we are using the ARK naming scheme, and have had problems 
with the ARK syntax and mod_wsgi in the past. Here is some info about ARK:

   *An ARK is a special kind of URL that connects users to
   three things: the named object, its metadata, and the provider's
   promise about its persistence.  When entered into the location field
   of a Web browser, the ARK leads the user to the named object.  That
   same ARK, inflected by appending a single question mark (`?'),
   returns a brief metadata record that is both human- and machine-
   readable.  When the ARK is inflected by appending dual question marks
   (`??'), the returned metadata contains a commitment statement from
   the current provider.* 

Here is the ARK specification page, where the info above came from: 
(https://wiki.ucop.edu/download/attachments/16744455/arkspec.txt?version=1&modificationDate=1261036800000)

In the past, mod_wsgi was not accepting the trailing **?** or **??** 
characters, which are integral to the ARK specification. I have searched for 
hours and can't seem to determine if support has been added for these 
characters in mod_wsgi, or if some workaround will need to be implemented.

Please let me know if you know about this, or if you need any other information 
from me. 
Thanks in advance,
John
