[jira] Resolved: (MODPYTHON-128) Have assigning req.filename automatically update req.finfo.

["Graham Dumpleton (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-128?page=all ]

Graham Dumpleton resolved MODPYTHON-128.
----------------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

As final proposal, changed req.finfo to be an object where fields of underlying fields of apr_finfo_t structure are accessed as object attributes. Tuple style access is still maintained for backward compatability. The req.finfo attribute is now also writable and can be assigned with the result of calling new functions apache.stat() and apache.lstat().

> Although it is possible to assign a new value to "req.filename", it is not possible to update "req.finfo" based on the new filename.
> Suggest that if "req.filename" is assigned a new value, that apr_stat() be automatically called to update "req.finfo". Ie., internally mod_python would do something like:
>   apr_stat(&r->finfo, r->filename, APR_FINFO_MIN, r->pool);
> I believe that mod_perl supports a similar feature, but would need to confirm this.
> Related to "req.filename", the "req.canonical_filename" should also be writable as when changing "req.filename" the latter should also by rights be updated as well.
