Question about 'scheme https' ...

[gs...@smm.de]

Hi !

I just ran into a problem when setting a link to a secured login page.

My local server (Tomcat) ist running on port 8080, https is listening on
port 8443.

In the border-component there is the following definition:

    <component id="loginpage" type="PageLink">
          <binding name="page" value="'Login'"/>
          <binding name="scheme" value="'https'"/>
    </component>

The generated link looks like https://localhost:8080/... .

When using a proxy server (Apache 2.x) to get requests to port 80 forwarded
to my container, having https on port 443, the generated link is
https://mydomain:80/.... :(

Is there a simple solution to this problem ?

Can I use hivemind to inject the https-port ? Or is there a binding I have
overseen ?

It would be the perfect solution, if it can distinguish the two situations
(like 'httpsPort = httpPort==80 ? 443 : 8443 ;' :) ).

Any suggestions ?

Thank you in advance,

Gerald

I'd suggest that you submit a feature request or bug report at 
http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=10573.

To workaround the problem at hand, try creating a LinkRenderer that
extends the DefaultLinkRenderer and change its constructLink() to
something like:

    protected String constructURL(ILinkComponent component, IRequestCycle cycle)
    {
        ILink link = component.getLink(cycle);

        String scheme = component.getScheme();
        String anchor = component.getAnchor();
        int port = scheme != null && scheme.equals("https") ? 80 : 0;
        return link.getURL(scheme, null, port, anchor, true);
    }

Then of course use that LinkRenderer for your PageLink.
