Paste#static document_root fails silently when '..' in path

[derek]

I have the following in my ini:

#####

[app:main]

use = egg:Paste#static

document_root = %(here)s/../var/html

#####

This causes 404s when the file is present in ../var/html.

Here is the paste log for a request:

<snip ip address> - - [09/May/2008:15:45:38 -0400] "GET /oit/art/share-it-content-management-system/index.html HTTP/1.1" 404 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311 Firefox/2.0.0.13"

and here is the ls output that reassures me that index.html is there:

]$ ls ../var/html/oit/art/share-it-content-management-system/index.html ../var/html/oit/art/share-it-content-management-system/index.html

This is against paste deploy trunk and paste script trunk, Revision: 7340 .

paste serve was run thusly:

$ sudo ../bin/paster serve publisher.ini

pwd reveals that all of this was done in:

/srv/adom/etc

I believe that providing an absolute path fails similarly, though I haven't tried that for two days, so I might be misremembering.

Discovered I need trunk of Paste, not PasteDeploy? or PasteScript?. This was fixed several weeks ago in response to #244. Sorry for the noise.
