Well, I'm modifying return.c, because in the Ns_ConnReturnRedirect() it is
used Ns_ConnLocation(), which has in its comments:
* Ns_ConnLocation --
*
* Get the location of this connection. It is of the form
* METHOD://HOSTNAME:PORT
The problem was that it returns the hostname of the server, which is set in
the config file and when I am requesting a virtual host, using our patch and
request http://virtualhost.domain.com/somedir Aolserver redirects my request
to http://host_of_the_server/somedir/ and not
http://virtualhost.domain.com/somedir/
Everything is for the slash here. That's why I had to patch it. I don't
claim that there isn't any better way to fix this, but that's what we did.
About the module that you check out, although I'm not a TCL guru, I don't
know what will be the behaviour of this module if you have more than 15000
virtualhosts and more than 20Mbps web traffic. I know that our module works
fine in these conditions and thanks to the prefect code of Aolserver. I
preffered to write it in C, because I don't have any experience with TCL.
Best regards,
Boris Georgiev
