"This seems to be derived from environment variable REAL_SCRIPT_NAME."
Seems? :)
All redirecting http resonses are handled via the Redirect class in webapi.py:
class Redirect(HTTPError):
"""A `301 Moved Permanently` redirect."""
def __init__(self, url, status='301 Moved Permanently', absolute=False):
"""
Returns a `status` redirect to the new URL.
`url` is joined with the base URL so that things like
`redirect("about") will work properly.
"""
newloc = urlparse.urljoin(ctx.path, url)
if newloc.startswith('/'):
if absolute:
home = ctx.realhome
else:
home = ctx.home
newloc = home + newloc
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'text/html',
'Location': newloc
}
HTTPError.__init__(self, status, headers, "")
Here we have the variable 'realhome' which is assigned in application.py:
ctx.homedomain = ctx.protocol + '://' + env.get('HTTP_HOST', '[unknown]')
ctx.homepath = os.environ.get('REAL_SCRIPT_NAME', env.get('SCRIPT_NAME', ''))
ctx.home = ctx.homedomain + ctx.homepath
#@@ home is changed when the request is handled to a sub-application.
#@@ but the real home is required for doing absolute redirects.
ctx.realhome = ctx.home
So probably, changin ctx.realhome would help. I have no experience with
sub-applications though.
It would be great if anybody knowledgeable could chime in and recommend the best
technique for setting the redirect base.
