ID: 14280 Updated by: hholzgra Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Sun Solaris PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment:
sorry, but i don't see the point in rewriting the Location header if you do a redirect by header() you should know pretty well what you are doing, *including* whether you need a session id in it or not it's just adding the SID constant in *one* place instead of all over a html document that might even be maintained by someone else if you *realy* think header() shoud be that magical, then submit a feature request PS: that some browsers accept relative Location headers and that some people out there make use if this does *not at all* imply that this is correct usage (you should have seen the note about that if you'd had a look at the header() manual page lately as suggest in my first reply) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-29 10:57:33] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The HTTP standard does not allow relative paths / files in the Location: header. You should always use this form: Location: http://servername.domain.nl/file.php Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-29 10:43:51] [EMAIL PROTECTED] it does put in a hidden field, I was to quick there, sorry about that. about the header function: it works saying header("Location: test.php"); you don't have to specify an absolute path, so that means a lot of people out there don't. Maybe thats a bug (or a feature) in itself. So whats the story about the header-function, bug? Or if not, should'nt it be possible to rewrite the header it its relative? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-29 09:20:30] [EMAIL PROTECTED] please check for an added hidden field in <form>. reopen the bug report if you do not find one for the "Location:" header: - trans-sid does only rewrite the HTML content, not the headers - relative URLs are not allowed in Location: headers (see php.net/header for further info) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-29 09:12:36] [EMAIL PROTECTED] when compiling php version 4.06 with '--enable-trans-sid' and thereafter setting 'session.use_cookies off' in php.ini or in Apache's virtual host container. Does anyone know why the url rewriting works like this: - when it encounters a 'href' it do rewrite - when it encounters a header("Location: test.php"); it does not rewrite - when it encounters a <form action=test.php > it does not rewrite im not sure its a bug, but if it is not - then there is'nt much fun in using url rewriting at all for sessions.
