(Rebased) Pr/behind proxy middleware #1660
Conversation
Uses existing plack middlewares (ReverseProxy and ReverseProxyPath) to handle all request header modification when operating behing a proxy. Allows for variants (eg HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTOCOL) supported by Dancer(2) but not from those existing ReverseProxy middleware. Special cases REQUEST_BASE header to work with ReverseProxyPath so proxies from/to non-root paths "just work"(tm). (Alternate to #571.) As a middleware, devs get more flexability as to where to apply it; they can use Plack::Builder to wrap this around their app as well as further path/header altering middleware. This could be released as a seperate package; its not Dancer2 specific.
set behind_proxy => 1; We now 'use' the middleware directly rather than letting Plack::Builder load it for us. May allow earlier version of Plack to be used as a dependency.

I really like how this came together. We removed a test in t/request.t and we don't have any tests for lib/Dancer2/Middleware/BehindProxy.pm. Asking here so we can capture this for our future selves: do we not need to test this going forward because of the changes, or should we re-implement the test we removed in another fashion? That's about my only concern moving forward with this.

I'm not sure this test file is supposed to be part of this PR. It's causing the Appveyor tests to fail.

I still think this is a better way to handle the psgi It's taken some time, but I concur with the comments on the original PR about the namespace; something like |
This is a rebased branch of #590. :)
