Possibility to alter receive URL path?

[MightyGorilla]

First of all, this is a great project & thanks for your work!

We have an existing AS2 system and I was investigating the possibility of just moving our keys and certs and then updating our DNS and not having to send a different endpoint URL out to partners. Is there a supported/reasonable way to alter the directory portion of the URL or is that a dumb idea?

For example changing:
http://myserver.com:5080/pyas2/as2receive to something like http://myserver.com:5080/inbound

Thanks

@MightyGorilla : just change the urls.py of the django project to something like this:

`
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from yourProjectName.views import Home
from pyas2.views import ReceiveAs2Message
from django.conf import settings

urlpatterns = [
path('whateveryoursiteaminlinkis/', admin.site.urls),
path('pyas2/', include('pyas2.urls')),
path('', Home.as_view(), name='home'),
path('inbound/', ReceiveAs2Message.as_view(), name="as2-receive"),
# Add the url again without slash for backwards compatibility
path('inbound', ReceiveAs2Message.as_view(), name="as2-receive"),
path('accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
]
`

More about URLs is here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/http/urls/ (I suggest to use django version < 4.2 - there are issues).

@chadgates Thanks!
I didn't see a lot in the issues list, so concerning the suggestion of using v4.1 or less: Is that related to the cryptography lib dependency still needing to be patched, or something else? ....or several somethings else? ;)

I get issues with Posix Path/Default Storage and Suspicious File Operations under 4.2 ... but it might be just my setup...

@MightyGorilla : The Django >=4.2 thingy - I investigated and found following to be the case depending on if you set DATA_DIR or not:

• if you don't have DATA_DIR setup, you will probably not have any issues with any version of Django.
• If you did setup DATA_DIR and if DATA_DIR!=MEDIA_ROOT you will have problems for sure (also in 3.x).
• If you have DATA_DIR == MEDIA_ROOT, then you will have issues with Django >= 4.2.14.

I tried a PR #119 ... let's see ...

Thanks for the detail (and the fix)! I patched our install with your update- I still need to setup a another instance to send some traffic between the two to test.
