# Behind a Proxy

In some situations, you might need to use a **proxy** server like Traefik or Nginx with a configuration that adds an extra path prefix that is not seen by your application.

In these cases you can use `root_path` to configure your application.

The `root_path` is a mechanism provided by the ASGI specification (that FastAPI is built on, through Starlette).

The `root_path` is used to handle these specific cases.

* It takes each **request** that comes to your application.
* It can then do something to that **request** or run any needed code.
* Then it passes the **request** to be processed by the rest of the application (by some *path operation*).
* It then takes the **response** generated by the application (by some *path operation*).
* It can do something to that **response** or run any needed code.

## Separating tests

In a real application, you probably would have your tests in a different file.

And your **FastAPI** application might also be composed of several files/modules, etc.

                    "responses": {
                        "200": {
                            "description": "Successful Response",
                            "content": {
                                "application/json": {
                                    "schema": {"$ref": "#/components/schemas/Token"}
                                }
                            },
                        },
                        "422": {

<font color="#4E9A06">INFO</font>:     Started server process [<font color="#06989A">2306215</font>]
<font color="#4E9A06">INFO</font>:     Waiting for application startup.
<font color="#4E9A06">INFO</font>:     Application startup complete.
<font color="#4E9A06">INFO</font>:     Uvicorn running on <b>http://0.0.0.0:8000</b> (Press CTRL+C to quit)
```

</div>

That would work for most of the cases. 😎

Tout d'abord il faut "épingler" la version de **FastAPI** que vous utilisez à la dernière version dont vous savez
qu'elle fonctionne correctement pour votre application.

Par exemple, disons que vous utilisez la version `0.45.0` dans votre application.

Si vous utilisez un fichier `requirements.txt`, vous pouvez spécifier la version avec :

```txt
fastapi==0.45.0
```
