Hi Ian,
self.directory = os.path.normpath(directory)
I think that makes sense.
Great.
This is how subdirectories are handled:
SCRIPT_NAME=''; PATH_INFO='/foo/bar/baz.html'
maps to app StaticURLParser('/www')
That in turn forwards the request as:
SCRIPT_NAME='/foo'; PATH_INFO='/bar/baz.html'
maps to app StaticURLParser('/www/foo')
And so forth, until you get to a real file.
But if you end up at a directory instead of a file, it isn't working.
Ahh right, makes sense. I'll try and track down the problem.
404 would be okay, I guess, though the actual error message should say
something different so people realize why they get a 404. Apache gives
a 403, though IMHO that's probably a bad convention. It's only
Forbidden in Apache because indexes weren't turned on, but calling
enabling indexes a permission (that can be revoked) doesn't make any
sense. So sure, 404 with a message "No index file displayed for
directories" or something like that. Alternately we could display
index.html (probably based on a class method, or something passed to the
constructor, which would be a list of index filenames -- but I'm also
fine leaving it out so long as the 404 is sent in a special method that
can be overridden).
Yup. I'd prefer 404 too so we'll go with that. I'll have a look at
adding some options for directory indexes too, probably tomorrow now.
Cheers,
James
