Each function and operator is uniquely identified with a URI of the form: “http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/#name” What is the full URI of fn:starts-with ? 9296 1 Norman.Walsh 2006-04-18 16:23:34 +0000 The specification is clear, I believe, the full URI for fn:starts-with is http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions#starts-with 9864 2 ashok.malhotra 2006-05-19 13:06:04 +0000 Norm will fix when preparing next round of publication. 9865 3 Norman.Walsh 2006-05-19 13:17:03 +0000 But I want it left open until it's fixed :-) 9946 4 Norman.Walsh 2006-06-06 15:18:14 +0000 This will be fixed in the 8 June publication round. 9972 5 Norman.Walsh 2006-06-12 19:36:16 +0000 We failed to fix this because of constraints in the web server configuration 9973 6 Norman.Walsh 2006-06-12 19:38:34 +0000 Proposed solution: rename the collation URI to /2006/xpath-collations/codepoint 9974 7 mike 2006-06-12 20:32:55 +0000 I don't think I see the logic why changing the collation URI should have any bearing on this problem. And please could we not change the collation URI at this stage without very strong justification. Any change will be very disruptive. 9976 8 Norman.Walsh 2006-06-12 20:48:34 +0000 It's an ugly practical detail in web server administration. I thought changing the collation URI would be less painful than changing the xpath-functions URI :-) If you do a GET onthe xpath-functions namespace, you want "/2006/xpath-functions" to appear in the browser. (Because people are going to cut-and-paste it and "/2006/xpath-functions/" is a different URI for namespace purposes.) But if a directory named /2006/xpath-functions exists, a request for /2006/xpath-functions is always redirected to /2006/xpath-functions/ And because we have another URI named /xpath-functions/collations/..., we can't remove the xpath-functions directory. Rock. Hard place. Between. :-( 9979 9 davidc 2006-06-12 22:32:46 +0000 And because we have another URI named /xpath-functions/collations/..., we can't remove the xpath-functions directory. Norm, cant you remove the directory (so trailing slashes dont get added) but still keep the URI /xpath-functions/collations/ by silently rewriting URLs of that form it to serve files from somewhere else? David 9983 10 Norman.Walsh 2006-06-13 11:16:32 +0000 I don't think silent rewriting will work, though it might. Henry Thompson also suggested to me yesterday that using ScriptAlias and just taking over the entire tree might do it. I'm experimenting. With luck, this issue will silently close itself again today :-) 9984 11 Norman.Walsh 2006-06-13 11:50:35 +0000 Indeed, David, you're right. RewriteRules will do the trick. I'll get webreq to install them and then close this again. Whew!
