Description

Output of rest-server --version

rest-server version rest-server 0.12.0 compiled with go1.20.3 on linux/amd64

What should rest-server do differently?

Would it be possible to add a base url flag?
This way the base part of a request can be ignored, as it was used to route traffic to the server, not the user trying to make a request on the server.

What are you trying to do? What is your use case?

The rest-server is behind an Nginx proxied port. As configured the proxied port does not perform request matching on the base URL. Thus, the rest-server interprets incoming request from the user incorrectly, i.e. it see the request come in as "/base_path/user/..." rather then simply "/user/...".

Did rest-server help you today? Did it make you happy in any way?

The rest-server works great and am very happy with how it is performing!

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how rest-server handles incoming HTTP request paths, then verify the behavior behind the Nginx proxy described in the issue. Done means a configurable base URL is ignored before the REST backend path is interpreted.
