Description
I've been looking for a way to use different index (/) views for different subdomains.
So far I had been using a middleware component to pry out the subdomain, and then have a bunch of checks in the default index view.
I wanted to split that up to different views, and someone suggested that i could modify the request path in my middleware so another urlpattern would match thus using another view.
I looked at: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/request-response/#django.http.HttpRequest
Found HttpRequest.path, changed it, nothing happened.
After some digging i found HttpRequest.path_info, modified it and it worked.
So, why isn't path_info in the docs? Is it being removed? Was it recently added?
