+
+      gstein: well, it isn't the "path info", but the actual URI of
+              the resource. And of course we trust the user... that is
+              the resource they requested.
+              
+              dav_resource->uri is the field you want. path_info might
+              still exist, but that portion might be related to the
+              CGI concept of "path translated" or some other further
+              resolution.
+              
+              To continue, I would suggest that "path translated" and
+              having *any* path info is Badness. It means that you did
+              not fully resolve a resource for the given URI. The
+              "abs_path" in a URI identifies a resource, and that
+              should get fully resolved. None of this "resolve to
+              <here> and then we have a magical second resolution
+              (inside the CGI script)" or somesuch.

       - Have an 'execute_resource' hook/func that allows the
