What happened?

Hi, I noticed that the base url for my feed is https://SERVER_URL/audiobookshelf/feed
I'm pretty sure that the /audiobookshelf/ path was missing some times ago. Because I have a cloudflare WAF rule to allow traffic for my feeds.
I also noticed that the old URL without /audiobookshelf/ is still working.
Did it changed recently? Is there a reason for that or is there a config parameter to change?

What did you expect to happen?

A friend of mine tried to subscribe to a podcast and was blocked. I gave him the feed URL without noticing the change.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Open the RSS feed.
  2. The base URL is different from some versions ago

Audiobookshelf version

2.19.4

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Linux

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

None

Logs


Additional Notes

No response

There was a change in 2.18
There is not a option to change that. Both paths do work as you already mentioned, but the web client will always make a request to the subdirectory path.
