Add a "base_url" parameter to serve() to lop off route paths sent in from proxy servers?

Thanks for this package! It's very nice and useful!

We have a setup whereby certain routes (handled by an nginx proxy server) can lead to an ad-hoc service on cluster node routes (e.g. "<host>/node/<hostname>/<port>").
Users can, for example, get slurm allocation to run a Jupyter Lab session. But the proxy server seems to pass the entire ref url path to the listener service. Jupyter Lab has a "base_url" config parameter to deal with this.
The Pluto.jl folks were nice enough to add that to the "Pluto.run()" command.

fonsp/Pluto.jl@22be5d0

I wonder if that would be easy enough to do here?

could I confirm with you that what you'd like is that pages can be served at

$localhost:$port/$base_url/$relative_url

for instance localhost:8080/your/base/url/index.html ?

Thanks for responding!

I think that's right. Although I think I might need to set the $host to be "0.0.0.0", for it to serve out correctly.
But I can already do that, with the "host" argument (right?).
