Hi All, I was wondering whether we could improve the base_url option in trac.ini. It has becomed a (almost?) mandatory setting, but trac-admin never sets it and trac never reports an error (not even a warning in the log message) when it is not defined.
When this parameter is not defined, some weird issues can occur and it can be tricky to find that the root cause comes from a missing or invalid base_url value. I'm not sure to understand *when* this setting is actually needed, or as another way to say it, on which kind of environments it is mandatory or optional. I'm not sure to understand how it is related to other similar settings such as the TracUriRoot option in mod_python configuration. Anyway, would it make sense to add some sanity checks to validate that at least one option that defines the base URL is set; the best option would be to have a single option to define the base URL, whichever the way Trac is run (tracd, mod_python, CGI, etc.). As a subsidiary question, what is the best way to retrieve the base URL in a plugin (in Trac 0.11)?
