_cpwsgi requestLine: PATH_INFO SCRIPT_NAME

Status: closed (fixed)

Reported by:	jrboverhof@lbl.gov	Assigned to:	rdelon
Priority:	normal	Milestone:	2.2.2
Component:	CherryPy code	Keywords:
Cc:

When running the wsgiApp out of twisted.wsgi, twisted will set PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME with leading '/'

This causes an infinite redirect loop when accessing "http://localhost"

This also causes the root directory to be placed one level deep. So I can access my root resource only by using "http://localhost/bla/"

when I want to see it at "http://localhost"

This problem can be corrected by adding a line into the requestLine function

resource = resource.replace('//', '/')

I think this is a cherrypy problem because an empty string is equivalant to "/", and because the behavior of cherrypy seems too fragile.

Yes, it is too fragile, because it's not following the spec which says:

[script_name] MUST NOT end in a slash. If the script_name refers
to the root of the URI, it MUST be an empty string (not "/").

I've modified trunk to correctly require/coerce this where needed (see [1671]). This should be backported to 3.0.x, but needs some discussion before backporting to 2.x.

status changed from new to closed.
resolution set to fixed.

...but 2.x can certainly get a quick fix for the WSGI interface: see [1672].
