hdf value for the current uri

[dju`]

could source:/trunk/trac/core.py​ provide to cs templates a hdf value for the current request uri?

for example: HTTP.url would be "ticket/6", or "/timeline", or "/wiki/MyPage".

then it could be possible, for example in the per-site site_header.cs template, to make a menu that could dynamically hilight the page you're on. for the #proj-menu on this website, the following could be done:

<div id="proj-menu">
 <ul>
  <li><a href="/trac/"<?cs if:HTTP.url == '/'?> class="active"<?cs /if ?>>Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="/trac/wiki/TracDownload"<?cs if:HTTP.url == '/wiki/TracDownload'?> class="active"<?cs /if ?>>Download</a></li>
  <li><a href="/trac/wiki/TracGuide"<?cs if:HTTP.url == '/wiki/TracGuide'?> class="active"<?cs /if ?>>Documentation</a></li>
  <li><a href="/trac/wiki/TracFaq"<?cs if:HTTP.url == '/wiki/TracFaq'?> class="active"<?cs /if ?>>FAQ</a></li>
  <li><a href="/trac/wiki/TracSupport"<?cs if:HTTP.url == '/wiki/TracSupport'?> class="active"<?cs /if ?>>Support</a></li>
  <li><a href="/trac/wiki/HowToContribute"<?cs if:HTTP.url == '/wiki/HowToContribute'?> class="active"<?cs /if ?>>Participate</a></li>
  <li><a href="/trac/wiki/MailingList"<?cs if:HTTP.url == '/wiki/MailingList'?> class="active"<?cs /if ?>>Mailing lists</a></li>
 </ul>
</div>

and then use css styles to hilight the active class.

obvisouly HTTP.url should contain the request uri, where the base location of trac has been stripped, for more portability.

putting HTTP.path_info in there should suffice.
