Hi. I think it's a bug in rewrite.py modul. If you open the file, it's in gluon directory, on line 54 you can see the following:
if k.find(':/') > 0: i = k.find(':/') k = r'%s:https?://[^:/]+:[a-z]+ %s' % (k[:i], k[i+1:]) Think this should insert regex part for the domain when written in format ip:/route. But this will act on :/ in the domain name too... From: *:http://mydomain.com POST / becomes something like this: *:http:https?://[^:/]+:[a-z]+ //mydomain.com POST / Which won't match almost anything. I changed the if statement to: if k.find(':/') > 0 and k.find('://') == -1: To not count the :// from the domain name. It's not perfect and in this case you'll have to compensate for the ip part of the regex in routes py always. Autocomplete for regexes to make the whole regex statement from routes.py will need some rewriting. I would like to rework this part, but I'll have free time for it only on Sunday. Until then, please use this little workaround or if you want write a patch for it. regards mmlado On Wednesday 23 September 2009 19:30:08 Jon Romero wrote: > any ideas? anyone? > > On Sep 22, 12:48 pm, Jon Romero <darks...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks. > > I was looking the examples from the old book (thinking that there > > won't be any major changes) but I was wrong. > > This is in the old book: > > > > routes_in=( > > ('140.192.\d+.\d+:.*','/welcome/default/index'), > > ) > > > > I thought that doing that: > > routes_in=( > > ('http://mydomain.com:.*','/myapp/default/index'), > > ) > > > > would work (I also tried escaping the domain name but that didn't work > > either). > > > > Then I tried with the way it is described in the new book and didn't > > work again (I am pretty sure I am doing something wrong). > > routes_in=( > > ('*:http://mydomain.comPOST / ', '/myapp/default/index'), > > ) > > > > Why the old one (which I find more appropriate for my purposes) didn't > > work?
