[Zope-dev] PATH_INFO reliable?

[Danny William Adair]

I want to strip off the SERVER_URL of an absolute url (which I have as a
string) without doing string manipulations. Is there some built-in function
to do this? So what I'm looking for is actual the reverse of absolute_url.

The request variable PATH_INFO looks very good, but I don't know whether
this is _always_ created.

Thx in advance,
Danny

P.S.: Maybe I just got something completely wrong here. Help!
