2296	[patch] MEDIA_URL should be documented as requiring a trailing slash with a path component	nwp@…	Jacob	"Due to the not-immediately-intuitive way python's urlparse.urljoin() works, MEDIA_URL requires a trailing slash if it includes a path component -- otherwise the last component of the path will be removed in the urljoin.

It would be good to point this out in the documentation wherever MEDIA_URL is mentioned, and provide an example in the default settings.py that makes this obvious (currently the example setting there has no path component).

Cheers,


Nick"	defect	closed	Documentation	dev	normal	fixed	slash trailing settings media_url		Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
