Hi
Does JAX-RS endpoint have an absolute URI address at the initialization
time, if so how does it look like ?
In HttpUtils.toAbsoluteUri there's a line which defaults to 'localhost'
if it its 127.0.0.1 - I don't recall right now why but I vaguely
remember I did it in order to address some issue of its own related to
the use of 127.0.0.1.
Do you see that line being exercised, if yes I can introduce a property,
something like 'preserve.local.ip.address' as a short term workaround.
Though if you say using 0.0.0.0 also leads to a 'localhost' being
reported then it is coming out of non-CXF code
(request.getLocalAddress()) - I'm honestly not sure what can be done in
case of '0.0.0.0' to have 127.0.0.1 reported instead...
Cheers, Sergey

Hi,
We're we're using CXF v3.1.3 via JAX-RS and we noticed that
UriInfo.getRequestUri().getHost() is returning 'localhost' instead of
'127.0.0.1' when requests are made to http://127.0.0.1.
The scenario is as follows:
* A users accesses the application via http://127.0.0.1
* The user logs in, creating a session cookie
* The user takes a action on the page that triggers a request to our
ReST API at http://127.0.0.1/rest
* The call in question returns a 303 See Other response with a Location
header of http://localhost/rest
* The user gets a 401 Unauthorized since his session cookie is
associated with 127.0.0.1 and not localhost
Similar behavior occurs when accessing the application via http://0.0.0.0.
I've tracked down the code that does replacement to:
org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.HttpUtils#toAbsoluteUri(URI u, Message
message)
Is there any way to change this behavior? I would expect the same host
to be returned even when making calls to 127.0.0.1.
Thanks!
