When using a virtual hosting configuration:

ProxyPass / http://localhost:7002/[…]/

The LinguaPlone language selector generates URLs like this: http://develop.cornae.com/++skin++cornae?set_language=en . And when you click that link the language selector generates http://develop.cornae.com/[…]/++skin++cornae?set_language=en as link. I'm sure you can see that something is not quite right there :)

This is using Plone 4.0a5 and LinguaPlone 3.1a1.

Disabling the content negotiator does not seem to have any influence on this.

Wichert and me had a couple private mail exchanges about this. To fix this we need to rewrite some part of the language selector code -> it shouldn't need to inspect any part of the URL, once it sees any virtual hosting marker in it.

From a email conversation with Wichert:

Even for <customer site> I don't see a need to ever look at anything before VirtualHostRoot. Can you think of a reason breaking out of the loop when encountering VirtualHostRoot won't work? It does seem to solve things for me at least.

I looked at the code in more detail again and refactored the horrible languages method into some saner methods. The new _findpath has the logic in question and should be unit testable now.

And I think you are right, as soon as we hit any of the VHM markers, we should just break out of the loop and give up. This should also solve one other issue in the LP tracker
(http://plone.org/products/linguaplone/issues/228) that uses VirtualHostBase.

This is fixed in SVN now. Will make it into LP 4.0a1.
