Custom pages don't work with base_url setting

See original GitHub issue

It seems that custom pages aren’t routing properly when the base_url setting is used.

To reproduce, with Datasette 0.55.

Create a templates/pages/custom.html with some text.

mkdir -p templates/pages/
echo "Hello, world!" > templates/pages/custom.html

Start Datasette.

datasette --template-dir templates/

Visit http://localhost:8001/custom and see “Hello, world!”.

Start Datasette with a base_url.

datasette --template-dir templates/ --setting base_url /prefix/

Visit http://localhost:8001/prefix/custom and see a “Database not found: custom” 404.

Note that like all routes, http://localhost:8001/custom still works when run with base_url.

@rgieseke Ah, that’s super helpful. Thank you for the workaround for now!

Alternative idea: populate request.scope with a new route_path which is the base-url-stripped version, which we then use for other routing operations.
