I'm trying to find a way to determine the fully qualified base URL that was used for my action so that I can create URLs in my payloads to other resources in my API.
e.g. if you set up as per https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/blob/master/docs/apigateway.md#exposing-multiple-web-actions then:
- Given a POST /club/books, I need to generate a URL to /club/books/{new id}
- Given a GET to /club/books/12, then I want to generate a URL to /club/books/34 which is by the same author.
As it stands, we have:
__ow_headers => x-forwarded-url which provides the fully qualified URL that was used to invoke this action__ow_path which is some characters from the end of the x-forwarded-url URL.
My initial idea was to subtract __ow_path from __ow_headers, but it doesn't work as __ow_path is very different depending on if there's a placeholder in the path:
i.e. if you call the URL for /club/books/, then __ow_path is /, but if you call the URL for /club/books/12 the __ow_path is /club/books/12
Suggested solution:
Provide __ow_base_path which is equal to /club in this example.
