Handling request when using a location

[AlexandreRio]

Hi,

Correct me if I'm wrong but the callback method of the server is not called if the requested file does not exist and a location is specified?

I'm trying to implement a webserver having a Rest API . How can I use my callback function for request:path() matching /api/ and serving html files otherwise? (apart from rewriting the Handler processRequest function?)

I'm starting to think the issue is somewhere else, I can't get the 404 error when requesting a file. The process loop for a while and end up saying ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE (using chromium).

I think you should use a proper logging method to debug this kind of issue.

Hi... I found a error in pegasus/handler.luafile. The location is related from the place where pegasus is ran. If you set "/www/" it is translated into "./www/". If I made a script run and inside I start pegasus, if I call:
./run then the location will be ./www/
if I call from anywhere like...
/home/me/luaproject/run then location will be the CWD not a fixed place for my project.

@ghost the intent of the code is to run it from a working directory, I think this is quite common. So not a bug.

Since the original issue was resolved, this can be closed I think.
