Plack::Middleware::LighttpdScriptNameFix(3pm)

NAME

Plack::Middleware::LighttpdScriptNameFix - fixes wrong SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO that lighttpd sets

SYNOPSIS

  # in your app.psgi
  use Plack::Builder;
  builder {
    enable "LighttpdScriptNameFix";
    $app;
  };
  # Or from the command line
  plackup -s FCGI -e 'enable "LighttpdScriptNameFix"' /path/to/app.psgi

DESCRIPTION

This middleware fixes wrong "SCRIPT_NAME" and "PATH_INFO" set by lighttpd when you mount your app under the root path ("/"). If you use lighttpd 1.4.23 or later you can instead enable "fix-root-scriptname" flag inside "fastcgi.server" instead of using this middleware.

CONFIGURATION

script_name

Even with "fix-root-scriptname", lighttpd still sets weird "SCRIPT_NAME" and "PATH_INFO" if you mount your application at "" or something that ends with "/". Setting "script_name" option tells the middleware how to reconstruct the new correct "SCRIPT_NAME" and "PATH_INFO".

If you mount the app under "/something/", you should set:

  enable "LighttpdScriptNameFix", script_name => "/something";

and when a request for "/something/a/b?param=1" comes, "SCRIPT_NAME" becomes "/something" and "PATH_INFO" becomes "/a/b".

"script_name" option is set to empty by default, which means all the request path is set to "PATH_INFO" and it behaves like your fastcgi application is mounted in the root path.
