It would be interesting to know what path you WANT, in the above use case.

There is now absolute_url, the extremely silly absolute_url(relative=1), absolute_url_path, virtual_url_path, getPhysicalPath, getPhysicalRoot, request/URLx and request/VIRTAUL_URL. Although this set is highly confusing, it is for most cases enough.

I think the request contains enough informations to produce
that you need. Working with absolute_url() is usually sufficient. If not then it indicates at least a weird or seldom usecase.

> What's wrong with object/absolute_url? or request/url?

A use case:

requested URL from client: http://my.host/path/to/script/parameter

request/URL = http://my.host/path/to/script

script/absolute_url = http://my.host/path/to/script

request/VIRTUAL_URL = http://my.host/path/to/script/parameter

I made a reference to #1252 to this issue. Closing this issue to keep the related discussion in one issue only.

This is related to issue 1252.

Need a way to print the _actual_ URL of a "page".

For example, "The URL of this page is <span tal:replace="request/actual_url">URL</span>.

Here's a possible solution candidate:

request = container.REQUEST
qs = request.QUERY_STRING
if request.has_key('VIRTUAL_URL'):
  base_url = request.VIRTUAL_URL
else:
  base_url = request.URL
url =  base_url + ( qs and ( '?%s' % qs ) )
return url

something like that ...

Thanks,
David
