Imagine that I have an application called 'myapp' running in my local web2py server, and I include this in routes.py to manage HTTP errors using a custom controller (/myapp/portal/error_page):
routes_onerror = [ ('myapp/*', '/myapp/portal/error_page'), ] Then, when somebody access to myapp and a HTTP exception is raised, web2py framework catches it and redirects execution to my custom controller. Perfect! That is what I was looking for! :) This works great most of the time, but I have observed that execution doesn't go through my custom controller when an "invalid request" error is produced (HTTP 400 error code). This happens for example, when I use a controller or a function name with special chars like '-'. Ex: http://127.0.0.1:8000/myapp/not-existing-controller-with-especial-chars Debugging function regex_url_in in gluon/rewrite.py I have realised that request.application is None when an "invalid request" error is produced. Then try_redirect_on_error doesn't know which is the application that produces the problem and is not able to redirect execution to the custom controller configured in routes.py. I wonder if it would have sense to infer request.application from an invalid url to allow custom controller redirection when an invalid request error is produced. # Maybe adding something like this in gluon.rewrite.regex_url_in? # ... match = regex_url.match(path) if not match: # Added application_match = re.search('^/(?P<a>\w+)/.*$', path) request.application = application_match and application_match.group( 'a') or None invalid_url(routes) request.raw_args = (match.group('s') or '') if request.raw_args.startswith('/'): request.raw_args = request.raw_args[1:] # ...
