Improve URL handling in JS Client

[hannahblair]

Description

This PR ensures that we correctly handle URLs in various formats. E.g. We weren't handling URLs with paths (to an extent) or URLs with trailing slashes. This also resulted in issues around fetching theme.css, /config and /info in some cases.

The following should now work (providing a gradio space is to be found at these URLs):

• hmb/hello-world
• http://localhost:7860
• http://localhost:7860/
• http://localhost:7860/app/gradio
• hmb-hello-world.hf.space
• hmb-hello-world.hf.space/

To test, run this python app and mount the gradio app on various paths:

import uvicorn
from fastapi import FastAPI

import gradio as gr


def predict(text):
    return text

with gr.Blocks() as block:
    text_in = gr.Textbox()
    text_out = gr.Textbox()
    btn = gr.Button("Predict")
    btn.click(predict, inputs=[text_in], outputs=[text_out], api_name="predict")

block.queue()
app = FastAPI()

gr.mount_gradio_app(app, block, path="")
# gr.mount_gradio_app(app, block, path="/")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    uvicorn.run(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=7860)

then in a separate app (or in serve an app as a static file with fastAPI), test you can connect to the app.

const app = await Client.connect("hmb/test-args");
const app = await Client.connect("http://0.0.0.0:7860/app/gradio");
const app = await Client.connect("http://0.0.0.0:7860/");
// etc 

You can also test that it fixes #4463 by testing embedding with the custom path:

import uvicorn
from fastapi import FastAPI

import gradio as gr

app = FastAPI()

@app.get('/app')
def hello():
    return {"message":"hello"}

g_app = gr.Interface(
    lambda x: f"Hello {x}",
    "textbox",
    "textbox",
)

app = gr.mount_gradio_app(app, g_app, path="/app/gradio")

uvicorn.run(app,host="0.0.0.0",port=8080)

<script type="module" src="http://localhost:4321/gradio.js"></script>

<gradio-app src="http://0.0.0.0:8080/app/gradio"></gradio-app>

Closes: #4469
Closes: #4463
Closes: #3472
Closes: #8154
Closes: #8199
Closes: #8073
(probably) Closes: #8129

Thanks, Have been looking for this update.

Getting this error, when trying to install it
Unable to create package with no name

Is this the right way to install it

$ ./poetry add  https://gradio-builds.s3.amazonaws.com/f17855cf0d974ad4076ee8df3e8c3ce60eef0cee/gradio-4.31.5-py3-none-any.whl

[hannahblair]

Hi @autherous!

poetry add xyz.whl should be the correct syntax. If you navigate to ./ and try running that command (with just poetry add) does that work? Alternatively is the extra space (there are two spaces after add) causing the issue?

[pngwn]

It could also just be that poetry doesn't like this way of installing packages. It does differ from pop in certain ways.
