ProxyMiddleware

This is a collection of WSGI Middleware classes to make applications more usable within a nginx environment

ReverseProxied

A shim for wsgi applications behind nginx

A common problem that I have ran into when hosting wsgi applications behind a nginx reverse proxy is the rewriting of urls being returned from the upstream server.

This little bit of wsgi middleware will rewrite the script name variable based on a variable set in your nginx config.

Add this line to your nginx config:

proxy_set_header X-SCRIPT-NAME /path;

And this line to your wsgi file:

application = ReverseProxied(application)

Note: Variations of this code exist in other places on the internet. I do not claim to be the person who came up with this. I just love it and need somewhere I can easily find it.

TrailingSlash

Attempt append a trailing slash to a route without a trailing slash that gets a 404

This can be used when you have primarily routes that end with a slash.

application = TrailingSlash(application)

force_slash

Force the trailing slash on a route.

This is primarily useful for the root of ones application behind nginx
