Have assigning req.filename automatically update req.finfo.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MODPYTHON-128
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-128
Project: mod_python
Type: Improvement
Components: core
Versions: 3.3
Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
Although it is possible to assign a new value to "req.filename", it is not
possible to update "req.finfo" based on the new filename.
Suggest that if "req.filename" is assigned a new value, that apr_stat() be
automatically called to update "req.finfo". Ie., internally mod_python would do
something like:
apr_stat(&r->finfo, r->filename, APR_FINFO_MIN, r->pool);
I believe that mod_perl supports a similar feature, but would need to confirm
this.
Related to "req.filename", the "req.canonical_filename" should also be writable
as when changing "req.filename" the latter should also by rights be updated as
well.
