637395097 MDU6SXNzdWU2MzczOTUwOTc= 838 Incorrect URLs when served behind a proxy with base_url set 79913 closed 0   6026070 14 2020-06-11T23:58:55Z 2021-11-20T19:35:48Z 2021-11-20T19:35:48Z NONE  

I'm running datasette serve --config base_url:/foo/ …, proxying to it with this Apache config:

    ProxyPass /foo/ http://localhost:8001/ 
    ProxyPassReverse /foo/ http://localhost:8001/

and then accessing it via https://example.com/foo/.

Although many of the URLs in the pages are correct (presumably because they either use absolute paths which include base_url or relative paths), the faceting and pagination links still use fully-qualified URLs pointing at http://localhost:8001.

I looked into this a little in the source code, and it seems to be an issue anywhere request.url or request.path is used, as these contain the values for the request between the frontend (Apache) and backend (Datasette) server. Those properties are primarily used via the path_with_… family of utility functions and the Datasette.absolute_url method.
