mr.monster 1.0

A URL rewriting middleware that emulates a VHM url.

He’s fearsome.

About

Mr Monster is a WSGI middleware designed to make it easy to locally test pipelines that will eventually be served behind apache with a rewrite rule in place.

The configuration is very simple, the easiest case being:

[filter:monster]
use = egg:mr.monster#rewrite
autodetect = true

which simply adds the correct VirtualHostBase/Root declarations.

Options

autodetect:

Pick a host and port from the inbound request

host:

Set the canonical hostname to pass to Zope. If used you must provide a port.

port:

Set the canonical port. If used you must provide a host.

internalpath:

A path in the form /foo/site that is the base of your application in Zope.

externalpath:

A path in the form /bar/baz to filter from a request using _vh_bar syntax.
