I've been putting various things at home behind an Apache SSL reverse proxy; I want the emonpi under /emonpi but the PHP code uses the SCRIPT_NAME to set the base path. Can a minor change like this be considered to make life easier for the next person who tries this?

The settings.php also needs the approriate entry, in my case:

   $basepath = "/emonpi";

but a default like this works with no side effects:

   $basepath = "";

emonpi $ git diff core.php
diff --git a/core.php b/core.php

     return $path;
}

For reference, the Apache side needs a little tweaking as well:

...
    SSLProxyEngine On
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyRequests Off
    RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https" env=HTTPS
    ProxyPass /emonpi http://emonpi
    ProxyPassReverse /emonpi http://emonpi
​...
