When things get messed up I recommend people use a middleware
(paste.deploy.config.PrefixMiddleware, though I don't really care what they
use) to fix up the request to be correct. Pulling it from REQUEST_URI would
be fine.
Also, at worst, you can do environ['SCRIPT_NAME_RAW'] =
urllib.quote(environ.pop('SCRIPT_NAME')). It sucks, but if that's all the
information you have, then that's all the information you have. Or try to
get the information from REQUEST_URI the hard way, once at the gateway
level.
