Yes, you're right, Stephen, thank you!
Responsible's my own ns_returnforbidden, and I was misguided by the
different behaviour for files and directories. In detail, for maybe
helping other misguided half-blinds like me:
I checked file access using TCL's "file normalize",
which returns
"/path/to/real/file.ext"
for requests of "/path/to/webserver/pages/symdir/file.ext" in a
symbolically linked directory (symbolic link
"symdir --> /path/to/real"
in physical naviserver page root "/path/to/webserver/pages"),
but returns
"/path/to/webserver/pages/physdir/file.ext"
if only "file.ext" links symbolically somewhere else (symbolic link
"file.ext --> /path/to/real/file.ext"
in physical directory "/path/to/webserver/pages/realdir")
So I just had to drop the normalizing.
Thanks again, Stephen,
and best regards to the list!
