RedirectServlet should create relative Location headers as often as possible
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SLING-2251
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2251
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Servlets
Affects Versions: Servlets Get 2.1.2
Reporter: Alexander Klimetschek
SLING-1965 (more specifically
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=903175 ) changed the
redirect servlet so that it _always_ generates an absolute location header. The
issue does not give much reasoning for that.
The problem is that this breaks cases where a Sling server is run behind a
proxy (which does not or cannot rewrite the Location header), as the redirect
("http://localhost:8080/some/path";) might not match the externally visible
domain. Also, the schema is fixed (e.g. might switch external https back to
http).
A solution would be to generate absolute URLs only if a resource resolver
mapping (/etc/map) includes an explicit domain and thus generates an absolute
URL. For all other cases, relative URLs should be generated. AFAICS, this was
the case before SLING-1965.
