root directory for notebook server about nbopen

[takluyver]

It checks whether the any running server was started in a path that's a prefix of the current notebook path. E.g. if I have a server running in /home/thomas and I try to open /home/thomas/foo/bar.ipynb, it will use the existing server. But if I try to open /opt/baz.ipynb, it will start a new server.

Well, I got an error on Windows this afternoon, but this is working on
Linux. Let me check tomorrow morning again. Maybe my mistake with the paths
or something.

There may be a bug because I'm used to case-sensitive Linux paths, and Windows paths are case-insensitive.

I spent quite some time debugging and fixing this problem only to find this pull request which fixes the issue in the master:

#42

My solution is based on notebookapp, but is essentially the same:

        relpath = os.path.relpath(filename, start=server_inf['notebook_dir'])
        # based on "start" method in notebookapp
        uri = url_escape(url_path_join('notebooks', *relpath.split(os.sep)))
        url = url_path_join(server_inf['url'], uri)
