Okay, it sounds like this 1) works and 2) works for
the particular application, instead of just for WebKit as
a whole.
So, instead of modifying web_kit, you can use this,
and if the speed is a big issue, you can probably
modify the processExtraURLPath routine in Application.py
(or override it, but where?) to first
directly look for a string ending in .xml, and
then split on ".py":
xmlhandler='/WK/XML/mainhandler.py'
xmlfilehandler='/usr/local/Webware/WebKit/XML/mainhandler.py'
if urlPath[-4:] == '.xml'
junk,extraURLPath = ssPath.split('.py')
urlPath=xmlhandler
ssPath=xmlfilehandler
Don't know whether this saves googles of nanoseconds
over the original method
