Log: UG/Remote: Documented that http://host is turned to
http://host/RCP2
Update issue 1693
Status: Review
Tried to explain the problem better in User Guide. How does this look
now to @kormbrek and others?
Also, do you guys think this behavior should change in RF 2.9? I think
it would make sense bu would like to hear other opinions. If we decide
it is a good idea, we can still do this tasks now:
- Add a note User Guide that the behavior will change in RF 2.9.
- Add an issue about actually making the change in RF 2.9.
- Inform users/devs on mailing lists about the planned change.

Prior to Robot Framework 2.8.4 the Remote library itself used the
potentially slow :code:`localhost` by default.
-.. note:: Depending on the remote server, the trailing slash after the
server
- address may or may not be significant. For example, using
- :code:`http://127.0.0.1:8270` is not always the same as using
- :code:`http://127.0.0.1:8270/`. If there is a difference, remote
- servers themselves should document which format to use.
+.. note:: Notice that if the URI contains no path after the server address,
+ `xmlrpclib module`__ used by the Remote library will use
+ :code:`/RPC2` path by default. In practice using
+ :code:`http://127.0.0.1:8270` is thus identical to using
+ :code:`http://127.0.0.1:8270/RPC2`. Depending on the remote
server
+ this may or may not be a problem. No extra path is appended if
+ the address has a path even if the path is just :code:`/`. For
+ example, neither :code:`http://127.0.0.1:8270/` nor
+ :code:`http://127.0.0.1:8270/my/path` will be modified.
