257	request.path_info sometimes used incorrectly	Elrond	Christopher Allan Webber	"{{{
#!rst
When running mediagoblin in a subpath, like /mediagoblin/, then
some things are a little complex.

For ``/mediagoblin/u/elrond/`` ``request.path_info`` becomes
``/u/elrond/``.


-  This is good, when trying to match routes. Simple, fine, job
   done.
-  This is BAD, when generating URLs like ""request.path\_info +
   foo"" for the browser, because the browser will only see
   ``/u/elrond/foo``. Which is wrong. Problem.

I know, that the environ has SCRIPT\_NAME (""``/mediagoblin``"" in
this case), but it's not entirely clear, on how to procede from
here.

Assigning to Chris, as he created most of the base infrastructure
and surely has comments.
