from django.core.urlresolvers import set_script_prefix class ScriptPrefixMiddleware(object): """ Set the script prefix for all requests. Essentially this adds the current request host to all calls to get_absolute_url(). Much more convenient than adding the schema and domain manually everywhere. """ def process_request(self, request): schema = 'http://' if request.is_secure(): schema = 'https://' host = request.get_host() if host: set_script_prefix('%s%s' % (schema, host))

Adds http://hostname or https://hostname before every URL generated by a Django url function.

Example: Normally, something like YourModel().get_absolute_url() would return /2009/09/02/slug. However, this is not an absolute URL, because it does not include an HTTP schema or host.

With this middleware, YourModel().get_absolute_url() will return http://yourdomain.com/2009/09/02/slug.

This will also work for calls to reverse() or the {% url %} template tag.

Installation:

Drop this code into yourproject/middleware/scriptprefix.py.

Usage:

In your settings.py, add:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
# ...
'yourproject.middleware.scriptprefix.ScriptPrefixMiddleware',
# ...
)
