[rt-users] http vs https problem

[Petr Grolmus]

Hello,

it seems neither the upgrade to RT 3.6.3 nor comment out the
line "$uri->port($ENV{'SERVER_PORT'});" in Web.pm helped at all. The
latter has a really weird behavior ;) If in RT_SiteConfig.pm is the
version with "https":

Set($WebBaseURL , "https://rtest2.zcu.cz");

then on non-https port (after the click on mentioned submit buttons) it
redirects page to https port (but now without an alert ;-) and vice versa...

I tried to make some experiments and I figured out this "hack" that
seems working... in RT/Interface/Web.pm I replaced the line:

    $HTML::Mason::Commands::m->redirect($uri->canonical);

with next code:

    my $my_redirect = $uri->canonical;
    if ($ENV{'SERVER_PORT'} == 80) {
       $my_redirect =~ s/^https/http/;
    }
    $HTML::Mason::Commands::m->redirect($my_redirect);

It's really dirty hack... but it's working with my settings...
