Obtaining full URLs behind a proxy
I was having a problem getting the full url of a page or resource after
deploying my application behind a proxy. I was previously doing the
following:
public String getUrl(MyResource res) {
PageParameters params = new PageParameters();
params.put(Constants.MY_RESOURCE, res.getId());
WebRequestCycle cycle = (WebRequestCycle)RequestCycle.get();
return RequestUtils.toAbsolutePath(cycle.urlFor(MyResponsePage.class,
params).toString());
}
However, after deploying behind a proxy, I was expecting to get "
http://my.domain.com/MyResourcePage/resouce/xxx" and instead was getting "
http://localhost:8080/MyResourcePage/resouce/xxx". So I adjusted to doing
the following:
public String getUrl(MyResource res) {
PageParameters params = new PageParameters();
params.put(Constants.MY_RESOURCE, res.getId());
WebRequestCycle cycle = (WebRequestCycle)RequestCycle.get();
String urn = cycle.urlFor(MyResponsePage.class, params).toString();
String referer =
cycle.getWebRequest().getHttpServletRequest().getHeader("Referer");
String context =
cycle.getWebRequest().getHttpServletRequest().getContextPath();
PrependingStringBuffer url = new PrependingStringBuffer(urn);
url.prepend(referer.substring(0, referer.indexOf(context) +
context.length() + 1));
return url.toString();
}
It's working, but I was curious if anyone had any input or a better method
of accomplishing this. Thanks!
Regards,
Matthew.

Yeah, that's what I'd found. I had looked at the "Wicket Behind a Proxy"
wiki page. I'm using mod_proxy and proxypassreverse, but not the preserve
host setting.
I had originally set much of the host information in settings files, but
when I moved from wicket 2.0 to 1.4 some of that code broke due to how
wicket was handling relative urls. I thought about setting a custom header
in the request, but instead I have gone back to setting the hostname in a
settings file and then using wicket to discover the context and page path,
and then building the url from the three.
Thanks for the help!
Regards,
Matthew.

true, as you write it's actually the proxy that fuddles it up..

I have been told that in the end of the day, the only surely
universal way to get the host name you want is to put it
manually in some configuration file in your application.
In a specific context, you might get it right by configuring
the proxy to pass on the original request hostname either
directly in the proxied request or in a custom header.
This is not a Wicket specific thing.
Best wishes,
Timo

Resin, havent heard about that in years:) So it's still there..
Are you using mod proxy..? You could try to set proxypreserve host on...
but I havent been able to get it to work... But never matter what, your
url should be rewritten whats your apache vhost conf? And are you using
proxypassreverse..? And you can also get apache to add headers for
you(im not sure if thats what your doing?)..
Did you see this:

Yes, it's running on Resin behind Apache. I think I'm probably missing
something in my configurations somewhere. I don't like either of the
methods I mentioned below. Still trying to figure out the best solution.

Hmm. I on further thought, "Referer" is not the proper header to use.
Something more like this instead:
public String getUrl(MyResource res) {
PageParameters params = new PageParameters();
params.put(Constants.MY_RESOURCE, res.getId());
WebRequestCycle cycle = (WebRequestCycle)RequestCycle.get();
String urn = cycle.urlFor(MyResponsePage.class, params).toString();
String host =
cycle.getWebRequest().getHttpServletRequest().getHeader("Host");
String context =
cycle.getWebRequest().getHttpServletRequest().getContextPath();
StringBuffer url = new StringBuffer();
url.append("http://
").append(host).append(context).append("/").append(urn);
return url.toString();
}
