[Zope] Redirection problem

[Ken Ara]

Hello,

Please allow me to ask this question again, because
there is still an unsolved mystery.

For us, virtual hosting is limited to two lines in the
VHM 'mappings' tab:

oursite.org/oursite
*oursite.org/oursite

Way back when VHM was new I tried skipping the part
about 'VirtualHostBase'. The instructions under
'About' were a bit cryptic: the statement, "VHM
doesn't do anything unless it sees one of the
following special path elements in a URL:
VirtualHostBase sets the protocol and host, while
VirtualHostRoot sets the path root" seemed inaccurate
- for me, everything just worked. All I had to do was
override the <baseref> tag and avoid the use of
absolute_url (or just remove ':81'). But I digress.

The weird thing is, before moving to our present
server, we had Squid on port 80 and Zope on port 81
with the same VHM setup (same ZODB). We never had any
problem with redirection.

So I doubt this VHM aspect really plays a role in our
problem. Actually, Pound is the only new element apart
from the change from Zope 2.7 to 2.10.

As a workaround, would there be something I could add
when calling RESPONSE.redirect to force the redirect
to port 80?

Thanks again
Ken
