NAME
Plack::Middleware::NoMultipleSlashes - Remove multiple slashes in your
paths automatically
VERSION
version 0.001
SYNOPSIS
Pure Plack:
# in your app.psgi
use Plack::Builder;
my $app = sub { ... };
builder {
enable 'NoMultipleSlashes';
$app;
};
Or in your Dancer app:
# in config.yml
plack_middlewares:
- [ NoMultipleSlashes ]
DESCRIPTION
In short: this removes all multiple slashes from your PATH_INFO. Read
on, if you care why.
Multiple slashes in requests are a common problem, which many share.
Apparently, the RFC states that you should be able to expect different
results from *
http://server/* and *
http://server//* (notice the second
slash), so if the frameworks wish to maintain RFC compatibility, they
cannot remove those extra slashes for you.
While you can handle this issue in a reverse proxy, in a rewrite module
or in your code, I find it more comfortable to have Plack take care of
it in the thin layer called Middlewares.
By enabling this middleware, all multiple slashes in your requests will
automatically be cut. *//hello///world* becomes */hello/world*. Simple
as that.
ORIGIN
This Plack middleware was written originally after the issue was raised
in the Dancer (<
http://perldancer.org>) community.
If you're using Dancer, this is the prefered way to handle this issue.
