Or '*', for that matter?
My understanding is that an absolute URI is equivalent to issuing the same request with e.g. a 'Host:' header, and should result in equivalent results in terms of environment variables. That is, my understanding is that PATH_INFO should *never* contain a URI, rather than a path, and everything PEP 333 says about the environment variables is predicated upon that assumption. _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list Web-SIG@python.org Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
