Ok, found it: in req_sendfile(), apr_stat is called with the APR_READ flag. APR_READ is however an invalid flag there, apr_stat interprets it as APR_FINFO_LINK (they're both #define'd as 1) making it behave as an lstat(). APR_FINFO_NORM would probably be the right value for the 3rd argument. Regards, Wim. > Can't look at it until tomorrow, but check code in src/requestobject.c of > mod_python > source code.
