Got an error:
mod_wsgi (pid=4301): Exception occurred processing WSGI script
'/Users/grahamd/Testing/tests/wsgi20.wsgi'.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/grahamd/Testing/tests/wsgi20.wsgi", line 80, in application
environ['PATH_INFO'])
File "/Users/grahamd/Testing/tests/wsgi20.wsgi", line 64, in
request_uri_to_path
remove_segments = remove_segments - 1 -
qscript_name_parts[-1].lower().count('%2f')
IndexError: list index out of range
This was an extreme corner case where Apache mod_rewrite was being
used to do stuff:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /wsgi20.wsgi/$1 [QSA,PT,L]
and Apache was configured to allow encoded slashes. The input would have been:
REQUEST_URI: '/a%2fb/c/d'
SCRIPT_NAME: '/wsgi20.wsgi'
PATH_INFO: '/a/b/c/d'
That style of rewrite rule is quite often used with Apache, although
allowing encoded slashes isn't.
That SCRIPT_NAME needs to be adjusted is a known consideration with
this rewrite rule. Usually you would use wrapper around WSGI
application which does:
def _application(environ, start_response):
# The original application.
...
import posixpath
def application(environ, start_response):
# Wrapper to set SCRIPT_NAME to actual mount point.
environ['SCRIPT_NAME'] = posixpath.dirname(environ['SCRIPT_NAME'])
if environ['SCRIPT_NAME'] == '/':
environ['SCRIPT_NAME'] = ''
return _application(environ, start_response)
If that algorithm is used in WSGI adapter however, would never get the
opportunity to do that though as would already have failed before it
got called.
