>Description:
When the server does a redirect from a directory without a trailing slash,
to the same URL with the trailing slash appended, it adds ":0" after the
hostname. This happens even if I have specified port 80 in the URL.
This may be specific to configurations like ours, since it hasn't been
reported before so far as I could see. Our configuration is basically
like this:
Listen 1.2.3.4:8080
Listen 80
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:8080>
ProxyRequests on
# other directives here, too
# Serve no local docs on this port
<Directory />
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
# This vhost serves all local docs
DocumentRoot /yada/yada/yada
# lots of other directives
</VirtualHost>
Here's a sample telnet session:
GET /SP HTTP/1.0
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Tue, 13 May 1997 18:34:04 GMT
Server: Apache/1.2b10
Location: http://smarthealth.com:0/SP/
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>301 Moved Permanently</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Moved Permanently</H1>
The document has moved <A HREF="http://smarthealth.com:0/SP/";>here</A>.<P>
</BODY></HTML>
Connection closed by foreign host.
The ":0" makes Netscape (3.01/NT) unhappym since it tried to actually connect
to port 0, I guess, but MSIE3.02 seems to ignore it and follows the redirect
on port 80 instead,
