request.path doesn't work properly under fastcgi

[julian]

hi,

my django-app runs under www.domain.com/appl/ with fastcgi.

the output of "request.path" in a view called for ^{$ is just "/" not "/appl/" as it should be...reproduce it:}

urls.py:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from appl.views import start

urlpatterns = patterns(,

(r'^{', start),}

)

views.py:
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

def start(request):

return render_to_response('base.html',{'path':request.path})

base.html:
{{path}}

running with fastcgi under www.domain.com/appl/ returns:

/

but should

/appl/

I know this can be solved with a rewrite-rule in a .htaccess, but this shouldn't be the proper way to fix bugs.
