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.
