prepended
with regard to relative vs. absolute paths.

-----------------------------------------+-------------------------------
When FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME is set it will prepend the prefix to URLs for
STATIC_URL and MEDIA_URL. However, if either the static root is an
absolute path (staring with a /) then this will be completely skipped.
Since Django defaults to STATIC_URL being set to `/static/` it is not
obvious that you may need to set this to be `STATIC_URL = "static/"`,
removing the leading slash.
The docs should have a note or warning in this section
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/settings/#force-script-name
explaining this.
