Port inserted in redirect

           Summary: Port inserted in redirect
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: Unknown
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Tomcat 4.x is unusable with TUX web server on Linux when used as the slave 
server (i.e. not on port 80). Also, when Tomcat 4.x is using a port other than 
80, and a content switch is used to map port 80 to the port Tomcat is on, the 
port Tomcat listens for is sent to the browser in redirects, thus failing to 
connect. For instance, say Tomcat is on a machine called WEB1 listening on port 
4001 (port 80 is used for another web server). An URL exists to go to a virtual 
entry in a content switch (or something like a Cisco Local Director), that maps 
the IP to the IP for MACH1 and translates port 80 to port 4001. Thus a request 
for http://foo.domain.com/ actually requests a file from http://MACH1:4001/. 
What happens, is that Tomcat sends a redirect in this case for the index.html 
file (or whatever the index is set to in server.xml) and the browser receives: 
http://foo.domain.com:4001/index.html as the redirect. I had to alter the 
file /catalina/src/share/org/apache/catalina/connector/HttpResponseBase.java in 
the function "private String toAbsolute(String location)" so that it would 
parse out any port that was getting sent back in order to make it functional. I 
realize that in many situations it would be necessary to send back the port, 
however, I feel this needs to be an INI setting, or perhaps a compile time flag.
