X-Forwarded-Prefix support

[Marc Perrin]

Is there any plan to deal with the X-Forwarded-Prefix header?

(similar to

USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST

and

USE_X_FORWARDED_PORT

for X-Forwarded-Host and X-Forwarded-Port)

(NB: and as far as X-Forwarded-Proto is concerned, it's usually dealt with via

SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO', 'https')

)

Or is this header not standard enough?

If not, what would be a standard - or at least effective - way for a user to (sort of) customize HttpRequest (get_raw_uri, build_absolute_uri) to deal with this header?

Thanks for the ticket. TBH, I've never heard about X-Forwarded-Prefix it seems to be another non-standard header set by some proxies.

Or is this header not standard enough?

Is this standard at all? I couldn't find any RFC or reliable docs on this.

If not, what would be a standard - or at least effective - way for a user to (sort of) customize HttpRequest (get_raw_uri, build_absolute_uri) to deal with this header?

Please use one of support channels for support questions.

Thanks for the answer, yeah it seems non-standard (Traefik reverse proxy; also mentioned here: ​https://microsoft.github.io/reverse-proxy/articles/transforms.html)
