Suggestions on how I can grab the requested uri?
Have you tried request->path ?
I had not, but I just did, and that kinda worked, but not really. Let me explain.
As I explained in my original post, I am using a proxy to access the Dancer app. In my Apache conf file, I have the following
ProxyPass /app/one http://one.org/ ProxyPassReverse /app/one http://one.org/
So, when the address in the browser URL bar is http://mywebsite/app/one, the Dancer app is actually getting http://one.org/
In other words, when the user requests http://mywebsite/app/one, Dancer's request->path() is simply '/' instead of '/app/one'
I am hoping to be able to use other Apache variables to grab this, but request->env() doesn't seem to be working. Could it be that request->env() grabs CGI env variables, and since I am using Plack::Handler::Apache2, it is not really CGI that I am using.
Any other suggestions?
As far as your setup goes, you may want to at least consider something like this:
http://advent.plackperl.org/2009/12/day-12-maps-multiple-apps-with-mount-and...
"The environment variables such as PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME are automatically adjusted so it just works like when your application is mounted using Apache's mod_alias or CGI scripts. Your application framework should always use PATH_INFO to dispatch requests, and concatenate with SCRIPT_NAME to build links."
This should get you pretty much to the same place, but with the added advantage of being able to use Plack's debug panels etc.
Hope this helps,
wow! That Plack advent calendar is brilliant. I am learning a lot from it, however, I am not sure it helps me. Since I am already using Dancer, I am "supposed" to be shielded from dealing with Plack directly, no? In other words, (from the quote above), Dancer should give me access to PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME, etc. Which is precisely what I want. -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org Carbon Model http://carbonmodel.org Charter Member, Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org Science Commons Fellow, http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/kishor Nelson Institute, UW-Madison http://www.nelson.wisc.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assertions are politics; backing up assertions with evidence is science =======================================================================
