Actually I don't care what the Apache<==>Tomcat connector is talking.
I want to avoid the URL being rewritten as http when the original
request came in from the users browser as https:// - this is happening
when the JkMount is made.
I believe the relevant doc says:
"the servlet container must convert the relative URL to an absolute URL"
How to make it always return https for this app??
sendRedirect
public void sendRedirect(java.lang.String location)
throws java.io.IOException
Sends a temporary redirect response to the client using the specified
redirect location URL. This method can accept relative URLs; the servlet
container must convert the relative URL to an absolute URL before
sending the response to the client. If the location is relative without
a leading '/' the container interprets it as relative to the current
request URI. If the location is relative with a leading '/' the
container interprets it as relative to the servlet container root.

instead of keeping https://
hi, for tomcat to accept https protocal, you need to define a SSL
connector.
take a look in your server.xml to see if the SSL connector was commented
out.
and the scheme attribute defaults to "https".
Hope this helps:).

Subject: Tomcat returning absolute http:// URL behind SSL Proxy instead
of
keeping https://
Hi,
We have the classic 3 tiered webapp architecture with BigIP
loadbalancers acting as SSL Proxies - such that requests for the webapp:
https://server/jkmount/
1) Come into the BigIP - the BigIP Proxies the HTTPS and sends the
same request to the Apache servers on port 80
2) Apache sees the URI with a matching jkmount and sends the
request to the Tomcat worker
3) PROBLEM: tomcat constructs the absolute URL to return based on
the assumption its port 80 and returns the insecure
http://server/jkmount/index.jsp
Found some relevant docs here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/proxy-howto.html
But its unclear how to get tomcat to keep the https:// instead of
returning the absolute http://
Apache 2.0.48
Tomcat 4.1.30
Thanks for any tips!
