Summary: glob() fails for network drive in cgi

Initial Comment:
glob.glob() does not work when globbing a network 
mapped drive while running as a cgi script.  The method 
works fine when run as a normal python script (even for 
mapped drives), but does not work when run from a 
browser as a cgi script.  The glob returns an empty list 
as if the drive just isn't there.

Assuming Windows.

This is almost certainly a permissions problem.  The IIS
server does not run CGI as a "regular" user, but as the
"system user".  The system user has no permissions to access
network resources, hence your problem.

Thus, this is not a Python problem.  You need to check the
IIS docs to see how, or even if, you can loosen the
permissions (and assuming you understand the implications of
doing so).

Unless i hear back in a few days that there is another
problem I will close this as invalid.
