Thanks to Nathan Strutz for submitting his findings on using expandPath with virtual directories:
Nathan found that the following code…
expandPath("../myDirectory/mySharedDirectory/")
…will return…
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myDirectory\mySharedDirectory\
However, if he adds a slash to the beginning, like this…
expandPath("/../myDirectory/mySharedDirectory/")
…he gets…
\\sharedComputer\ShareName\shareLocation\mySharedDirectory\
Anyone care to confirm or deny this behavior? (I’m running on OS X right now, so I can’t.)
