Can't create a client with an URL with path as base

[ferranmesas]

Hello! At the company I work at we access all external services through a gateway. We're encountering a bit of an issue when accessing contentful using this method.
For example, we have the contentful management endpoint at gateway.example.com/contentful-management.

How can we configure the contentful js SDK so it accesses the right endpoints? We've used the host field in the past with success, even though the name indicates it's to be used with a host only. There's no parameter in the createClient() call allowing this kind of usage.

We'd be happy to contribute a new pair of parameters URL and UploadURL if needed!

Thank you for your feature request. There are two ways:

• We provide an option like basePath which can be used to extend the url. So we avoid a breaking change and can release it to v3 of CDA and CMA
• Support path's in the host parameter. That might be breaking and the naming is not really correct

I'll go for the first option and try to release a small release asap :)

Wow that was so quick! We don't need it right now, but will this change also support upload paths? the Upload endpoint also sits behind the gateway, but in a different path.

yes it will only extend the url, should be fine :)

@ferranmesas if you update contentful-sdk-core in your project, the new basePath option should already work. I'll release a new version of the CMA and CDA soon to enforce that new sdk-core version.
