The gluon wsgi application

gluon.main.wsgibase(environ, responder)[source]

The gluon wsgi application. The first function called when a page is requested (static or dynamic). It can be called by paste.httpserver or by apache mod_wsgi (or any WSGI-compatible server).

  • fills request with info
  • the environment variables, replacing ‘.’ with ‘_’
  • adds web2py path and version info
  • compensates for fcgi missing path_info and query_string
  • validates the path in url

The url path must be either:

  1. for static pages:
  • /<application>/static/<file>
  1. for dynamic pages:
  • /<application>[/<controller>[/<function>[/<sub>]]][.<extension>]

The naming conventions are:

  • application, controller, function and extension may only contain [a-zA-Z0-9_]
  • file and sub may also contain ‘-‘, ‘=’, ‘.’ and ‘/’
