```

The 2nd and 3rd above are my databases. This works, but I have a small problem with URLs like `/rna-protein-genome?params....` that I could fix with some more nginx munging. I seem to do this sort of thing once every 5 years and then have to look it all up again.

In 0.32 I get ""url_prefix is not a valid option"". I think this would be *really helpful*!

This would be really handy for proxying datasette in another domain's *subdirectory* I believe this will allow folks to run upstream authentication, but the links break if the url_prefix doesn't match. 

I'd prefer not to host a proxied version of datasette on a subdomain (e.g. datasette.myurl.com b/c then I gotta worry about sharing authorization cookies with the subdomain, which I just assume not do, but...)

Edit: I see the wip-url-prefix branch, I may try with that https://github.com/simonw/datasette/commit/8da2db4b71096b19e7a9ef1929369b8483d448bf","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",396212021,base_url configuration setting,
