About

Mr Monster is a WSGI middleware designed to make it easy to locally test pipelines that will eventually be served behind apache with a rewrite rule in place.

The configuration is very simple, a common case being:

[filter:monster]

System Message: ERROR/3 (<string>, line 16)

Inconsistent literal block quoting.

use = egg:mr.monster#rewrite host = www.example.com port = 80

which simply adds the correct VirtualHostBase/Root declarations.

If no configuration options are supplied the inbound request will be introspected. To avoid this, set an explicit host and port. For users wanting to use autodetection the egg:mr.monster#rewrite line can be added directly to a pipeline.
