I got into this pickle because I was using a URL(c='static',
f='images', ...) to download an image under static/images. The problem
was that the image download was taking place from a component, so a
".load" suffix was getting spliced into the middle of the path like
this:
IMG(_src='myapp/static/images.load/...')
I figured I'd just get around the ".load" by building the path on my
own using os.path.join(request.folder,'static/images/...') and that's
when I saw that request.folder was getting stripped of its slashes (or
backslashes ... I don't recall at this moment).
Anyway, I backtracked and decided to just .replace('.load','') on the
URL(), even though that seems awfully ugly.
Bottom line, URL() is inserting a ".load" on the path during the ajax
callback after doing a form submit. BUT there is NO ".load" in the
same path when just loading the page the first time. I think this is
inconsistent behavior, but I don't have the time to delve deeper into
it at this time.
