Hi,
Am 21.06.2012 12:23, schrieb Armin Ronacher: Does the code handle a chain of absolute and relative symlinks correctly, for example a relative symlink that points to another relative symlink in a different directory that points to a file in a third directry? No, but that's a good point. It should attempt to resolve these in a loop until it either loops too often (would have to check the POSIX spec for a reasonable value) or until it terminates by finding an actual file or directory.
Regards, Armin
