repoze.urispace 0.3

Library / middleware for URI-based assertions

Overview

repoze.urispace implements the URISpace 1.0 spec, as proposed to the W3C by Akamai. Its aim is to provide an implementation of that language as a vehicle for asserting declarative metadata about a resource based on pattern matching against its URI.

Once asserted, such metadata can be used to guide the application in serving the resource, with possible applciations including:

• Setting cache control headers.

• Selecting externally applied themes, e.g. in Deliverance

• Restricting access, e.g. to emulate Zope’s “placeful security.”

Please see the Package docs for detailed documentation.
