Mojolicious, apache reverse proxy

slatibart has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I have apache running and need to run a mojolicious app under the path /rules

This is the apache config part

  ProxyRequests Off
  ProxyPreserveHost On

  ProxyPass /rules http://localhost:3000/ keepalive=On
  ProxyPassReverse /rules http://localhost:3000/
  RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-HTTPS "0"

Very simply mojolicious script with a route to / and a route to /user

app->hook(before_dispatch => sub {
  my ( $c ) = @_;
  my $url = $c->req->url;
  my $base = $url->base;#
  push @{ $base->path }, 'rules';
  $base->path->trailing_slash(1);
  $url->path->leading_slash(0);
});

get '/' => sub {
  my $self = shift;
  my $host = $self->tx->remote_address;
  my $content =  "Host: $host";
  $self->stash(content=>$content);
  $self->render('index');
};

get '/user' => sub {
  my $self = shift;
  my $host = $self->tx->remote_address;
  my $content =  "Host: $host";
  $self->stash(content=>$content);
  $self->render('index');
};

app->start;

Generated html looks good.


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>

<form action="/rules"><input type="submit" value="Home"></form>
<form action="/rules/user"><input type="submit" value="User"></form>

<a href="/rules">Home</a>
<a href="/rules/user">User</a>

Host: 127.0.0.1

</body>
</html>

Using the home button / links works but for route /user mojolicous throws an error.

"None of these routes could generate a response for your GET request for //user, maybe you need to add a new one?"

Where is that extra slash coming from and how to get rid of that ?

Bonus question. If I add another layer push @{ $base->path }, 'all/rules'; all slashes are transformed.

<form action="/all%2Frules"><input type="submit" value="Home"></form>
<form action="/all%2Frules/user"><input type="submit" value="User"></f
+orm>

<a href="/all%2Frules">Home</a>
<a href="/all%2Frules/user">User</a>

Any idea why ?

Thanks for your help.
