[Dancer-users] strangeness with Dancer prefix and apache proxy

5 Feb 2012

      I have the following in my apache2 conf file

    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName my.computer.edu
        DocumentRoot "/path/to/Sites"

        <Proxy *>
            Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            allow from all
        </Proxy>

        SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
        SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
        ProxyPreserveHost On

        ProxyPass        /d/apps http://127.0.0.1:25012
        ProxyPassReverse /d/apps http://127.0.0.1:25012
    </VirtualHost>

When I go to http://my.computer.edu/d/apps/js/app.js the log shows
    request: GET //js/app.js from 127.0.0.1 in ../Dancer/Handler.pm l. 52

When I go to http://127.0.0.1:25012/js/app.js the log shows 
    request: GET /js/app.js from 127.0.0.1 in ../Dancer/Handler.pm l. 52

Why do I get to leading slashes in the first request above?

Additionally, when I go to http://my.computer.edu/d/apps I get a correct response (the double slashes notwithstanding). However, when I go to http://my.computer.edu/d/apps/foo then I get a 404. My perl code is like so

    package apps;

    use Dancer ':syntax';
    use Dancer::Plugin::Database;

    load_app 'eb', prefix => '/foo';
