[naviserver-devel] Order of URL processing

[Georg L. <jor...@ma...>]

Hello,

I am trying to configure Naviserver as reverse proxy for a Django project.

Django features deployment of static assests like css, js etc. into a 
separate URL, typically /static,  which can then be served directly by 
the webserver.  Everything else has to be reverse-proxied to the wsgi 
server which serves the Django app via http.

My revproxy setup is:

ns_section ns/server/default {
     ns_param enabletclpages     false
     ns_param minthreads         10
}
ns_section ns/server/default/fastpath {
     ns_param pagedir            www
     ns_param serverdir          $serverroot/default
     ns_param directoryproc      ns_returnnotfound
     ns_param directoryfile      index.html
}
ns_section ns/server/default/modules {
     ns_param revproxy           tcl
     ns_param nssock             nssock
}
ns_section ns/server/default/module/revproxy {
     ns_param filters {
         ns_register_filter postauth GET  /* ::revproxy::upstream -targethttp://localhost:65193
         ns_register_filter postauth POST /* ::revproxy::upstream -targethttp://localhost:65193
     }
}
ns_section ns/server/default/module/nssock {
     ns_param port               0
}

I have made several attempts to register the /static/* URL to be handled 
by fastpath and map it to a directory have failed. The server always 
sends the requests to the revproxy backend.

Is it possible to "override" this, and if yes then how?

Best Regards,

   Georg
