resolver with path bug

[pcnate]

I think there is a bug in how the path is removed from the URL. In the code below we can see it trying to take the length of the pathname off of the beginning of the request.url property.

redbird/lib/proxy.js

Lines 646 to 653 in cb7781e

	var pathname = route.path;
	if (pathname.length > 1) {
	//
	// remove prefix from src
	//
	req._url = url; // save original url
	req.url = url.substr(pathname.length) || '';
	}

If I am not mistaken, that means returning the path of /test in your resolver will result in the request.url having http removed from the beginning instead of the end.

So, I learned that path is not the path you want to redirect to but the piece of the current path that you would like to remove.

Not what I was expecting and not really what I think is best but I got it working nonetheless

Say your resolver received a URL of http://bestwebsite.com/test/sthaoesuthsau?aoeuaoeu=sthst

You could return { url: 'http://localhost', path: '/test' } from the resolver to redirect it to http://localhost/sthaoesuthsau?aoeuaoeu=sthst
