Summary
Based on the conclusion of #604 which can be found here the consensus seems to be that trying to munge host headers when located behind a reverse proxy isn't the best approach and that instead absolute paths should be used in redirects. The same, I imagine, should apply in tempates.
This is currently possible but would be made easier/neater if the
url_path_for
method which exists onStarlette
was exposed on theHTTPConnection
and therefore theRequest
. Additionally, adding aurl_path_for
jinja
function would allow for this to be achieved in templates much easier.I leave this PR here for review with the knowledge that if this approach is approved of docs will also need to be added.
