[AOLSERVER] AOLServer 4.5.0 redirecting with 302 for requests where there is no trailing slash on a directory

[Nick Miller]

Hi, I have a strange issue with AOL Server 4.5.0 which I did not experience with 4.0.10 and I wonder if anyone on this list as any idea how to fix it. I have a set where I use a reverse proxy cache (Squid) to listen on port 80 of my site. This forwards requests to my AOLServer instance, which is listening on 127.0.0.1:8000. The idea behind this is to cache some of the static content and also allow me to route requests based on the host header to specific AOLServer instances. The stuff on the blog is out of date and doesn't describe this implementation correctly. This all worked very well with 4.0.10. Now I have upgraded I am have some weird behavior for requests to a directory where there is no trailing slash in the request. For example www.nickmiller.me.uk/blog as apposed to www.nickmiller.me.uk/blog/ The request is received and forwarded by Squid, the NSD returns a 302 Temporarily moved and includes the port number 8000 in the new location. The headers are: HTTP/1.x 302 Moved Temporarily Location: http://www.nickmiller.me.uk:8000/blog/ MIME-Version: 1.0 Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2007 21:14:29 GMT Server: AOLserver/4.5.0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 324 X-Cache: MISS from www.nthdev.co.uk Via: 1.0 www.nthdev.co.uk:80 (squid/2.6.STABLE7) Connection: keep-alive The site of course does not respond on port 8000. Also if redirecting a client from /blog to /blog/ this should ideally be a 301 permanent redirect for SEO reasons and also as the page would never be returned from the first URL so this might be something worth fixing for a future version. I am not a great AOLServer expert so I am wondering if there is some configuration I am missing, or if its something harder to resolve. Any help greatly appreciated.
