I'm getting some weird behavior with Activities&Places (GWT 2.4.0 and
2.5.1), in FF 20/21/Chrome/Safari 6, both prod and dev mode.
Here's an example:
with @Prefix("!contact") these two urls work just fine ('contact' place,
token first empty then 'department'):
http://127.0.0.1:8888/?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997#!contact:
http://127.0.0.1:8888/?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997#!contact:department
but when I try to open:
http://127.0.0.1:8888/?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997#!contact:department/1
the url gets rewritten to:
http://127.0.0.1:8888/!contact:department/1
and the app goes to the default place (historyToken is empty) and there's a
404 because !contact doesn't exist. Debugging this I get to
c.g.g.user.client.impl.HistoryImpl.java#133 newItem() that is called with
an empty historyToken so this happens before any tokenizers get called. The
same happens when token contains period/dot (.) or question mark. Anyone
seen this before?
It's been known this can happen because of 3xx
redirects<http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2011/05/17/url-fragments-and-redirects-anchor-hash-missing.aspx>,
but this is not the case here (then all fragments would be dropped). To be
sure this is not the case, I tried this with a redirect: a simple filter to
remove "index.html" so that
127.0.0.1:8888/index.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997#!downloads:
gets redirected to 127.0.0.1:8888/?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997#!downloads: and
it works correctly. Inspecting HTTP requests under the hood also doesn't
show any 3xx responses when hash gets dropped.
Could this be a bug?
regards,
Milan
