Wrong server in URL (was: Re: [Zope] (no subject))

[Michael Havard]

MORE INFO:

Okay we've dug a little deeper into it and are even more confused.

We have three frames TOOLBAR, NAVBAR, WORKSPACE. The content served from 
these frames comes off of a java appserver (servlets). When we click on a 
button in the toolbar it calls the workspace with a URL to a "controller" 
servlet, which parses the request and serves up/redirects to the appropriate 
page. In this instance we are making a request for a ZOPE document. The 
servlet is doing a redirect, we are getting a 302 temporarily moved and then 
recieving the ZOPE content.

The problem at this point is that all of the links within that page are now 
broken with incorrect host. Looking at some of the header information inside 
ZOPE I see that a normal (directly to ZOPE) request
has headers something like

URL0 http://host:8300/Site/index_html
URL1 http://host:8300/Site
URL2 http://host:8300
BASE0 http://host:8300
BASE1 http://host:8300
BASE2 http://host:8300/Site
BASE3 http://host:8300/Site/index_html

SERVER_PORT '8300'
PATH_TRANSLATED '/Site/index_html'
SERVER_NAME 'host'
HTTP_USER_AGENT 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 4.0)'
PATH_INFO '/Site/index_html'
HTTP_HOST 'host:8300'
REQUEST_METHOD 'GET'

and that's fine as it should be on a direct request. But on the redirect the 
information looks like this:

URL0 http://host:8200/Site/index_html
URL1 http://host:8200/Site
URL2 http://host:8200
BASE0 http://host:8200
BASE1 http://host:8200
BASE2 http://host:8200/Site
BASE3 http://host:8200/Site/index_html

SERVER_PORT '8300'
PATH_TRANSLATED '/Site/index_html'
SERVER_NAME 'host'
HTTP_USER_AGENT 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 4.0)'
PATH_INFO '/Site/index_html'
HTTP_HOST 'host:8200'
REQUEST_METHOD 'GET'

In that the SERVER_PORT and SERVER_NAME are correct matching the ZOPE server 
instance. The HTTP_HOST, URLs, and BASEs are incorrect though showing the 
requesting app servers port number.

I'm assuming that ZOPE uses BASE or URL or possibly even HTTP_HOST as the 
basis for building any URLS within the dynamically built pages.
