Calibre GUI content server url-prefix

ilovejedd · 02-07-2012, 10:48 AM

Is there a way to set the url-prefix for the content server via GUI? For the life of me, I couldn't find it anywhere in Preferences or Tweaks. If it's currently not possible, may I request the option be added?

Thanks!

The point of --url-prefix is to run the calibre server behind another server. Why do you want it in the GUI?

I'm running a portable install. I have 5 fixed libraries running in CLI (ports 8081-8085) all of which have their respective reverse proxies.

I also have a "generic" reverse proxy for port 8080 for whichever the current active library is on Calibre. I use it for test libraries and stuff. The problem with having a portable install, using the following command doesn't appear to work:

Code:

start /MIN calibre-server --url-prefix /calibre --port 8080

It only works if the --with-library option is specified so I can't easily change libraries on the fly.

I'm curious, why doo you need a server pointing to the current library in calibre?

Testing temporary libraries, quick access to a new library without first having to stop and restart the HTTP server in order to add a new reverse proxy. Alas, I'm still trying to figure out how best to deal with my fanfic collection and now I'm also playing with the FanFicDownloader plug-in so that means a bunch of libraries with different sets of custom columns. Alas, I'm also in the habit of dropping my testing/organizing and oftentimes, I find myself needing to remotely download titles (usually via 3G on my iPhone) spread across multiple libraries.

Well, easy enough, open a ticket so I dont forget, the next time I'm looking at the CS code.
