NAME
    Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::ProxyBase - Replace request base with value
    passed by HTTP proxy

SYNOPSIS
        package MyApp;
        use Moose;
        use namespace::autoclean;

        use Catalyst;
        use CatalystX::RoleApplicator;

        extends 'Catalyst';

        __PACKAGE__->apply_request_class_roles(qw/
            Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::ProxyBase
        /);

        __PACKAGE__->setup;

DESCRIPTION
    This module is a Moose::Role which allows you more flexibility in your
    application's deployment configurations when deployed behind a proxy.

    The problem is that there is no standard way for a proxy to tell a
    backend server what the original URI for the request was, or if the
    request was initially SSL. (Yes, I do know about "X-Forwarded-Host", but
    they don't do enough)

    This creates an issue for someone wanting to deploy the same cluster of
    application servers behind various URI endpoints.

    Using this module, the request base ("$c->req->base") is replaced with
    the contents of the "X-Request-Base" header, which is expected to be a
    full URI, for example:

        http://example.com
        https://example.com
        http://other.example.com:81/foo/bar/yourapp

    This value will then be used as the base for uris constructed by
    "$c->uri_for".

    In addition the request uri ("$c->req->uri") will reflect the scheme and
    path specifed in the header.
