</div></div>I believe the intended behaviour is:<br>
<br>
1. If we got relative redirect from a backend and are going to pass it<br>
to a client - don't touch it. It's backend which breaks RFC, so<br>
we don't care.<br>
<br>
In the code path without upstream->rewrite_redirect set you may even see<br>
special code to protect such redirects:<br>
<br>
if (ho->value.data[0] != '/') {<br>
r->headers_out.location = ho;<br>
}<br>
<br>
/*<br>
* we do not set r->headers_out.location here to avoid the handling<br>
* the local redirects without a host name by ngx_http_header_filter()<br>
*/<br>
<br>
return NGX_OK;<br>
<br>
2. If we are about to produce our own relative redirect - make<br>
sure it will be properly converted to absolute one by the header<br>
filter.<br></blockquote><div><br>OK, thank you. So this is intended.<br><br>The problem I am having is that the conversion to an absolute URL always uses a scheme of http:// unless the connection is an actual SSL connection. This means that if SSL is terminated at a load balancer and nginx listens on a non-SSL port, rewritten redirects are converted to absolute with a scheme of http:// even though the actual request was https://.<br>
<br>I can work around it by having my callback emit an absolute URL with the correct scheme. But, any interest in providing a way for nginx to do the same? e.g.<br><br>server {<br> # SSL terminated elsewhere<br> listen 444;<br>
# force https scheme on rewritten redirects converted to absolute urls<br> scheme_https on;<br>}<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
The code looks correct here.<br>
<br>
The problem I see is that if rewrite_redirect() returns<br>
NGX_DECLINED, the r->headers_out.location won't be set and it<br>
won't be possible to clear it in case we'll need to.<br>
<br>
The same applies to relative redirects from a backend though, and<br>
requires reconsidering of the "don't set r->headers_out.location<br>
to avoid handling by ngx_http_header_filter()" policy to make<br>
mentioned clearing indeed possible.<br>
