| Subject: | Fails with lighttpd as FE proxy |
lighttpd runs www.myapp.org on IP 1.2.3.4 and proxies certain requests
to a Catalyst app that runs with a standalone server on 1.2.3.5.
While everything seem to work with C:E::HTTP, things break with
C:E::HTTP::Prefork. It turns out, that under C:E::HTTP
$c->request->uri returns http://www.myapp.org/, whereas under
C:E::HTTP::Prefork $c->request->uri gives http://1.2.3.5/.
C:E::CGI cares for environment variable HTTP_HOST, to catch the real
local host name. This variable is set from the request header "Host"
in C:E::HTTP, but not in C:E::HTTP::Prefork .
The attached patch fixes this.
It also offers options to drop superuser privileges and to chroot
after listen is set up (haven't tested chroot though).
