[pyblosxom-users] base url includes SCRIPT_NAME, which contains too much stuff

[Dieter P. <di...@pl...>]

Hi,
I'm using the latest 1.5 code from git

my flavours/html.flav/head contains:

<a href="$(base_url)/">$(blog_title)</a>

When I go to http://localhost/ this works fine: I see my blog with all
entries, but then, I click a link to see an individual entry, say
http://localhost/back_from_canada_archcon.html

this page shows fine, i see the entry i wanted to see,
but the $base_url is now the current page +'/', so the link to take me
home points to http://localhost/back_from_canada_archcon.html/
which, btw, shows the home page
So I can go to http://localhost/back_from_canada_archcon.html/, and
click on any entry to see it, say:
http://localhost/back_from_canada_archcon.html/arch_linux_interview_and_uzbl_article.html
when I'm there, the $base_url is again
http://localhost/back_from_canada_archcon.html/

To be sure, i disabled all plugins (and restarted the webserver) but
the issue stays the same.


Another thing, which is probably related: if i have enabled the tags
plugin (took the latest one from git)
and I am at http://localhost, then click on a tag-link, say:
http://localhost/tag/foss
it says:
"The page you are looking for is not available
Somehow I cannot find the page you want." and $base_url is now
http://localhost/tag/

I know I can define $base_url in config.py, but I don't see why that
should be needed, since my webserver does not do anything fancy like
url rewriting, pyblosxom should be able to get the correct base_url by
itself right?

so I checked the code, more specifically class PyBlosxom ,
function initialize(), where I see SCRIPT_NAME from the http
environment is stored in the base_url.

And SCRIPT_NAME, when visiting
http://localhost/back_from_canada_archcon.html
is:
/back_from_canada_archcon.html/

Is this normal? I couldn't immediately figure out what the SCRIPT_NAME
is supposed to be. Is this a bug with my webserver or my setup? (I use
lighttpd 1.4.28, my config is at http://sprunge.us/JCCO, the fastcgi
script is at
http://github.com/Dieterbe/dieterblog/blob/manageable/fcgi.py)

Thanks,
Dieter
