Dec 9, 2017 at 22:21 comment added Suvrit Thanks for pointing out -- not sure if there exists a good rounding to obtain an / the exact solution. In any case, I'm typically happy with weakly polytime methods, especially those with the "luxury" of $\log(1/\epsilon)$ :-)
Dec 9, 2017 at 17:57 comment added Joseph O'Rourke Thanks! Note their algorithm finds an approximation, a path of length at most $d(p,q)+\epsilon$, with the time complexity including $\log (1/\epsilon)$. I do not know if there is a polynomial-time exact algorithm.
