No trailing slash in url causes TypeError with mod_wsgi

[gsf@…]

My Apache config includes the following line:

WSGIScriptAlias /testing /var/www/testing/django.wsgi

and my django.wsgi looks like this:

import os, sys

path = '/var/www'
if path not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(path)

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'testing.settings'
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

​http://example.com/testing/ displays correctly, but ​http://example.com/testing (without the trailing slash) produces the following error:

Traceback:
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py" in get_response
  78.                     request.path_info)

Exception Type: TypeError at /testing
Exception Value: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Gaargh... I used to handle this and then I removed it to fix another bug (forgetting why it was there originally). When I fix it this time, it's definitely getting a comment! Thanks for the clear report.

(In [8032]) Fixed #7871 -- Added some more bullet-proofing in PATH_INFO determination,
since Django would like it to at least contain a '/' (rather than being an
empty string).

If you can still reproduce this problem, please reopen, but it would be helpful if you could also print what Django thinks self.path and self.path_info are at that point in the process. I'm fairly sure [8032] is the sufficient, though (and shouldn't harm other cases).

That fixes it for me. Thanks!
