After some hours of trying to get $PHYSICAL[“path”] working on lighttpd-1.4.13, I realized that the code for it never worked. Even not in lighttpd-1.5. May be it worked for other persons, but for me it always fails. Of course I reported that (in fact, I was annoying everyone on #lighttpd with my thoughts while debugging :p) and.. well.. probably a pretty big change is necessary to make it work, and this change may even not go into 1.4 anymore. Another not very nice thing is, that url.rewrite would not work in a $PHYSICAL[“path”] conditional (the same as for $HTTP[“url”] and maybe others). Luckily, this is probably solved by said “big change”.

What does it mean, especially for lighttpd-padeprops? I will delay it, it’s pretty useless atm. The svn will remain public of course….
