akrabat opened a new issue #311: Expose base path to the action
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-apigateway/issues/311
 
 
   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.
