mr.monster 1.4

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, a common case being:

[filter:monster]
use = egg:mr.monster#rewrite
host = www.example.com
port = 80

which simply adds the correct VirtualHostBase/Root declarations.

If no configuration options are supplied the inbound request will be introspected. To avoid this, set an explicit host and port. For users wanting to use autodetection the egg:mr.monster#rewrite line can be added directly to a pipeline.

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.

scheme:

The URI scheme to use in the virtual host, by default this is detected automatically.
