Thomas, this is a picky topic.
First you have to differentiate host-relative-URLs (those that start with /), relative URLs (relative to the current path, e.g. ../Main/WebHome) and absolute URLs. I would vote +1 if you said you want to use host-relative URLs. Second, a major reason to use absolute URLs is when something back down does it wrong. E.g. some Apache mod_proxy or servlet-container configs can make it wrong. So there are sometimes when this is useful, as a rescue, but not as a bad-practice, it should always be possible in case. paul Le 20 mars 2012 à 08:39, Thomas Mortagne a écrit : > Hi devs, > > In HTTP specifications a redirect is always absolute URL which is > probably why we use absolute URL with sendRedirect. > > However sendRedirect does not produce direct HTTP response but allows > relative URL and delegate to the application server the job of > producing proper absolute URL. > > IMO XWiki should always use relative URL everywhere it can so I > propose to change our practice to use relative URL instead of absolute > URL with HttpSevletResponse#sendRedirect when possible. > > The only reasons I see to use external URLs are: > * interwiki URL in a domain based multiwiki > * html/pdf export for links pointing on not exported pages or non view actions > > WDYT ? > > Here is my +1.
