RE: [Webware-devel] extraURLPath definitely broken in 0.7

[Geoffrey T. <gta...@na...>]

It might be useful to look at the revision history in CVS -- you may be able
to figure out where it broke.  But it sounds like this whole area needs a
rewrite anyway.

As an aside, we really need automated regression testing for WebKit so we
can catch these types of problems before they get checked in.  Now that we
have the experimental (but seemingly fully functional) HTTP Server as part
of Webware CVS, we should be able to develop a fully self-contained
automated test suite for WebKit that doesn't need an external web server.
Right now I am just too busy to do any work on this, but I would love it if
someone else would work on it.
