Daphne-Root-Path not taken in consideration in consumers URLs

Daphne does not seem to use the Daphne-Root-Path when it computes the urls of the consumers.

I have:

• Daphne-Root-Path set to appname
• A web page at url r"^home" in my urls.py
• A consumer routed at r"/ws/something" in my routing.py

And I observe that:

• My web page is served at address /appname/home which means that Daphne is using the root-path correctly.
• The websocket is served at /ws/something and not at /appname/ws/something which I would expect.

Indeed, if I look at the source, I can see that http_protocol.WebRequest has a root_path attribute which is used when a http answer is sent (here https://github.com/django/daphne/blob/1.3.0/daphne/http_protocol.py#L162) but there is nothing like this in ws_protocol.py.

Is this actually a bug or am I missing something?

I tested this with Daphne 1.2.0 but it seems that the issue remains on the lastest version on the repository.

Any updates?

Just to make my issue is related (please correct me if I’m wrong).

On localhost with runserver, I can reach the websocket connect function in my consumer with the following:

# Client
var ws = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:8000/chat/<user_id>/");

# Router config
route("websocket.connect", ws_connect, path=r"^/(?P<user_id>[^/]+)/$"),

On my production environment, my nginx conf for the websocket proxy looks like this:

location /ws/ {
	proxy_pass http://daphne-myapp;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
	proxy_set_header Daphne-Root-Path /ws;
	
}

I then try to connect to ws://myapp.com/<user_id>/ but the consumer connect never gets called. After changing the route to include the root path, everything appears to work as expected:

route("websocket.connect", ws_connect, path=r"^/ws/(?P<user_id>[^/]+)/$"),

If my issue is valid and related to this, what would be a suitable workaround ? I could easily create different routes to be used in development and production if needed.
