### Checking the current `root_path`

You can get the current `root_path` used by your application for each request, it is part of the `scope` dictionary (that's part of the ASGI spec).

Here we are including it in the message just for demonstration purposes.

```Python hl_lines="8"
{!../../../docs_src/behind_a_proxy/tutorial001.py!}
```

Then, if you start Uvicorn with:

<div class="termy">

```console

### Check it

Open your browser at <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:8000</a>.

You will see the JSON response as:

```JSON
{"message": "Hello World"}
```

### Docs

* 🌐 🔠 📄 🐢 Translate docs to Emoji 🥳 🎉 💥 🤯 🤯. PR [#5385](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/5385) by [@LeeeeT](https://github.com/LeeeeT).
* 📝 Add notification message warning about old versions of FastAPI not supporting `Annotated`. PR [#9298](https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/pull/9298) by [@grdworkin](https://github.com/grdworkin).

This is normally called a **webhook**.

## Webhooks steps

The process normally is that **you define** in your code what is the message that you will send, the **body of the request**.

You also define in some way at which **moments** your app will send those requests or events.

To try it out:

* Open the app with several browser tabs.
* Write messages from them.
* Then close one of the tabs.

That will raise the `WebSocketDisconnect` exception, and all the other clients will receive a message like:

```
Client #1596980209979 left the chat
```

!!! tip
    The app above is a minimal and simple example to demonstrate how to handle and broadcast messages to several WebSocket connections.

```txt
Hello, World from Flask!
```

And if you go to <a href="http://localhost:8000/v2" class="external-link" target="_blank">http://localhost:8000/v2</a> you will see the response from FastAPI:

```JSON
{
    "message": "Hello World"
}
