![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description Customer would like to configure the plugins so they can control where the plugins get the port number that is handed up to the application server for use in redirects. Currently, the default behavior is to ge that port number from the Host header, they want to be able to configure it so that we use the port number the web server received the request on instead.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server plugin users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Some users want the old sendRedirect * * port behavior. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** PQ62683 changed the source of the port number sent up to the application server from the port the webserver received the request on to the port number specified in the Host header of the request. This fixed the problem the majority of our customers would run into with webserver front ends and webservers listening on non-standard ports, but did not take into account the minority of customers whose applications depended on the older behavior.Problem conclusion The change in the source of the port introduced with PQ62683 was made switchable, with the default to the PQ62683 behavior - customers wanting the old behavior will have to explicitly ask for it by adding an attribute in the plugin-cfg.xml file.Temporary fix Comments
