Category: WebKit Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Adam Smith (adamdesmith) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: HTTPRequest.serverPath() fallback fails on forwarding Initial Comment: HTTPRequest.serverPath() is supposed to return the path given to the web server before any rewrites. If the SCRIPT_URL values is set, it does this correctly. If is not, it falls back to constructing this path from the _servletPath and _pathInfo variables. However, consider the case when a request is forwarded from one servlet to another (via Application.forward). In this case, _pathInfo gets rewritten (forward calls includeURL, which calls HTTPRequest.push(), which then rewrites _pathInfo via setURLPath()). Now HTTPRequest.serverURL() returns not the originally requested URL, but instead the URL of the servlet that WebKit has forwarded the request to. As _pathInfo cannot reliably provide the serverPath, it should not be used in a fallback. Instead, it should attempt to extract a path from SCRIPT_URI and/or REQUEST_URI (perhaps using python's urlparse module). If neither are set, an exception should be raised rather than provide the client with potentially incorrect data. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=104866&aid=3510197&group_id=4866 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Webware-devel mailing list Webware-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-devel
