In what configuration would it be sane to have any proxy set the Host header to anything except what the client user agent says the Host header is? > > If the next question is "why would I ever generate URLs with the scheme > > and hostname in them", the answer is because sometimes you want to > > generate URLs to a particular hostname or using a particular scheme (see > > the app_url arg to route_url). > > That I understand. > > What I don't understand is why Pyramid provides route_path but not > static_path. I didn't read that in your mail, sorry. Indeed there is no "static_path". It'd be reasonably easy to add one (static_url is really just a wrapper around route_url). I'd probably add one, I guess if only not to have to have this conversation again ;-) - C -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-devel" group.
