That didn't seem to quite do it. Visiting http://domain.com/ rewrites
to http://domain.com/my_app/default/index/ instead of
http://domain.com/my_app/default/search/. The URL is being
substantively rewritten in the parse_url function (lines 802-807) of
gluon/main.py:
request.application = \
regex_space.sub('_', match.group('a') or
rewrite.params.default_application)
request.controller = \
regex_space.sub('_', match.group('c') or
rewrite.params.default_controller)
request.function = \
regex_space.sub('_', match.group('f') or
rewrite.params.default_function)
The problem being that rewrite.params.default_function is not using
the default_function specified in my app-specific routes.py.
The parse_url function is being called from line 326 of gluon/main.py:
# ##################################################
# invoke the legacy URL parser and serve static file
# ##################################################
static_file = parse_url(request, environ)
To be clear, /my_app/default/search/ is not a static file; parse_url
appears to do double-duty identifying static files and performing
simple URL re-writes.
On a side note, I'll be heading home for the day soon and won't be
working on this project again until Thursday. So if you don't get a
response from me for awhile....that's why.
