RACK_BASE_URI and delegating to Sinatra/Rack

[amadanmath]

I am proxying my Padrino application from http://example.com/my_app/ to http://example.com:5000/:

<Location /my_app/>
    ProxyPass http://localhost:5000/
    ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:5000/
</Location>

and over there, I'm running Padrino in Puma, with RACK_BASE_URI set to /my_app.

If I'm using Padrino's new URL generation, all is fine (assuming get :test is defined):

url :test
# => /my_app/test
absolute_url :test
# => http://example.com/my_app/test

But in some circumstances, things are left to Sinatra or Rack, neither of which knows anything about RACK_BASE_URI:

url '/test'
# => /test
absolute_url '/test'
# => http://example.com/test
request.url
# => /test

(I wanted to get the URL to files within public which were not under stylesheets, javascripts or images, and thus not reachable by asset_path. I made a workaround with #{ url :index }/my_data, but it is hardly elegant.)

---

Another place I found (as much as I could see) is store_location! from padrino-admin: it just uses SCRIPT_URI, which will be the local /protected, and not /my_app/protected, which makes redirect_back_or_default hit the wrong location. (Maybe this should be a new issue?)

Anyway, if I am doing something wrong, I shall appreciate the feedback, since I could not find much documentation on this.

Could you try asset_path(nil, 'path/to/asset') ans tell if that's what you want?

[amadanmath]

Oh, nil is allowed? Interesting undocumented fact.

asset_path :, 'my_data'
# => /my_app/my_data?1388045670

Thank you.

So that kind-of solves one of my problems. (It also appends the timestamp, without the option to switch it off; since my asset is static and unlikely to change, and allowing caching would make sense, a pure url would be better.)

The fact remains that url is inconsistent between simple and Padrino-style routes, and that store_location is remembering the wrong thing.

I will fix and document it soon.

I assume you are aware of disable :asset_stamp and want an option for asset_path to disable time-stamping of specific files, right?

As for url and store_location, please create new issue. These are unrelated to asset_path.

Thank you, the patch makes sense.

Actually, I was not, thank you for that as well. I am a newcomer to Padrino, don't know all the ins and outs yet. Coincidentally, is there a central list of all the options? I find Padrino nice to work with, but I struggle with documentation.

I'd rather say that asset_path was unrelated to this issue (I only mentioned it in parentheses as a workaround for what actually bugged me: inconsistency in handling RACK_BASE_URI); but since the root cause as well as the fix for url, store_location! and request_url are all different, they probably should be split up.

Yeah, there should be a list. The closest thing to it is app/app.rb generated with project, but it's not complete.
