> User Interface page rewriting through Knox presents many challenges. One of
> the challenges is that a Web page may have more than one link to other hosts
> of a given type (e.g. Yarn may have a link to more than one host) which may
> be different from the originating one. The main issue here is that Knox maps
> a single host to a rewrite and service. If the page has multiple hosts of a
> single type the rewrite rules may not be enough without some extra
> information. For example, Yarn UI may have links to Node URLs (more than one
> node) and even through the Yarn page may be rewritten to include the schema,
> and hostname as a query parameters so the dispatcher is able to fetch the
> correct host like:
> https://localhost:8443/gateway/nodeui/node?scheme=http?host=sandbox1?port=8042
> https://localhost:8443/gateway/nodeui/node?scheme=http?host=sandbox2?port=8042
> https://localhost:8443/gateway/nodeui/node?scheme=http?host=sandbox3?port=8042
> the response pages from each node need to have the right scheme, host, and
> port attached to their query parameters. We need a function that given a
> request to one of the links above can save the information needed to rewrite
> their request output with the query parameters needed for every response
> links.
> e.g.
> if we click link
> http://localhost:8443/gateway/nodeui/node?scheme=http?host=sandbox2?port=8042
> this can be rewritten as:
> “/node/node” to
> https://localhost:8443/gateway/nodeui/node/node?scheme=http?host=sandbox2?port=8042
> These functions are needed:
> $hrefUrl.ur
> $hrefUrl.host
> $hrefUrl.scheme
> $hrefUrl.port
> $hrefUrl.path
> $hrefUrl.query
> The rewrite would then be something like this:
> {code:xml}
> <rule dir="OUT" name="nodeOut" >
> <match pattern="{scheme}://{host}:{port}/node/?{**}"/>
> <rewrite
> template="{$gateway[url]}/node/node?scheme={hrefUrl.scheme}?host={hrefUrl.host}?port={hrefUrl.port}?{**}”
> </rule>
> {code}
> This way then we are not only able to request the page as we do today but the
> output response would be rewritten to have the information needed to be
> accessed.
> There is a KNOX-618 ( patch) but after evaluation we think that relying on
> the “Host” header still doesn’t provide all the information needed such as
> the scheme. We have access to the request object so it may be easier to get
> the information directly from the href request than expecting a header. The
> “Host” header see https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html
> section 14.23, only defines host and port. There is no reliable way to get
> the scheme from the response headers. Thus we can't really make use of the
> patch since we would still need the function to provide us the scheme
> function. Also there is still more information we may want such the path and
> query but those as not as critical to our effort to map all links from Yarn
> UI at this point.
