Summary 0001739: [BUG][FIX] HTTPSocket>>httpGet: and redirecting without host names
Description HTTPSocket>>httpGet: has a bug when trying to handle HTTP redirects that
did not include a host name, like "/some/file". The attached changeset
fixes the bug.

>From the preamble:

"Change Set: FixHTTPRedirectsWithoutHostName-bvs
Date: 11 January 2005
Author: Benjamin Schroeder

HTTPSocket has a method to get a web page, #httpGet:. This method
handles redirects.

However, #httpGet: was failing on redirects that gave the new location
as a full path with no host name, such as '/some/file'. (Seaside - at
least while running on Komanche but possibly elsewhere - issues
redirects like this.)

This changeset fixes the behavior."

Just fyi - if you fill in a hostname on the Seaside config page, it
will use absolute URLs for its redirects and elsewhere. Technically,
I believe, relative redirects are not legal in HTTP, although most
browsers do handle them just fine."

That is correct, the http 1.1. spec (I was just reading it yesterday) says
about the location field (used for amongst other things redirects):

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.30 [^]

"The field value consists of a single absolute URI.

       Location = "Location" ":" absoluteURI

An example is:

       Location: http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/People.html"" [^]

 I loaded this into 3.8-6665-basic without errors and ran the included test which passed. I did not test this otherwise.
