I'm troubleshooting my routes_onerror by starting with a simple case, redirecting everything to a status page for debugging:
routes_onerror = [(r'*/*', r'/status/'),] When I type the following url into the browser: http://127.0.0.1:8000/faq I get redirected to this url: http://127.0.0.1:8000/status/?code=400&ticket=None&requested_uri=None I did some debugging and rewrite.py is using request.env.request_uri to get the requested_uri. This is set to None in my particular instance. However, request.url.text is set to /faq. So I made some changes to rewrite.py which resulted in the following redirected url: http://127.0.0.1:8000/status/?code=400&ticket=None&requested_uri=None&request_url=/faq I don't know what impact overwriting requested_uri would have on backward compatibility or what the real difference is between request.env.request_uri and request.url.text. But for me, in this case, request.url.text is much more useful. What follows is the patch to rewrite.py. Please let me know if I'm missing something: --- a/gluon/rewrite.py +++ b/gluon/rewrite.py @@ -213,9 +213,9 @@ if redir == '!': break elif '?' in redir: - url = redir + '&' + 'code=%s&ticket= %s&requested_uri=%s' % (status,ticket, request.env.request_uri) + url = redir + '&' + 'code=%s&ticket= %s&requested_uri=%s&request_url=%s' % (status,ticket, request.env.request_uri, request.url.text) else: - url = redir + '?' + 'code=%s&ticket= %s&requested_uri=%s' % (status,ticket, request.env.request_uri) + url = redir + '?' + 'code=%s&ticket= %s&requested_uri=%s&request_url=%s' % (status,ticket, request.env.request_uri, request.url.text) return HTTP(303, 'You are being redirected <a href="%s">here</a>' % url, Location=url)
