Hello Thierry, I've just found again the Mapping HTTP semantics page and was reading it :-)
The idea is to try to get the original host:port requested by the client, and if the redirection engine is before the Restlet application, the HTTP Host header for requests hitting the Restlet app are already redirected. However, WebDAV needs (or at least all the implementations I've seen so far do it like this) the URL of the original call, not the redirected URL, in the <href> element of some DAV responses. So I think I'll get the Via header and parse it to get the 1st host:port pair in the Via 'chain' to get the original host:port requested (that is, before all redirections/proxies 'in the middle', between the client and my Restlet server). Thanks.
