> SLING-1965 (more specifically http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=903175 ) changed the redirect servlet so that it _always_ generates an absolute location header. The issue does not give much reasoning for that.
> The problem is that this breaks cases where a Sling server is run behind a proxy (which does not or cannot rewrite the Location header), as the redirect ("http://localhost:8080/some/path") might not match the externally visible domain (e.g. "https://my.domain.com"). Also, the schema is fixed (e.g. might switch external https back to http).
> A solution would be to generate absolute URLs only if a resource resolver mapping (/etc/map) includes an explicit domain and thus generates an absolute URL. For all other cases, relative URLs should be generated. AFAICS, this was the case before SLING-1965.
