public void appendToResponse(WOResponse aResponse, WOContext aContext) {
// Shall we ask for HTTPS or HTTP (or leave the transport as it is).
boolean tmpRequestIsSecure = RequestAdditions.isSecure(aContext.request());
super.appendToResponse(aResponse, aContext);
if ((requireSecure && !tmpRequestIsSecure) || (requireNotSecure && tmpRequestIsSecure)) {
// We have to redirect towards the same page, but different schema
String schema = (requireSecure) ? "https" : "http";
String redirectToURL = schema + "://" + RequestAdditions.hostName(aContext.request()) + aContext.componentActionURL();
aResponse.setStatus(302);
aResponse.setHeader(redirectToURL, "Location");
NSLog.debug.appendln("Switching schema to : " + schema + ". Redirecting to the URL '" + redirectToURL + "'.");
}
}
Till now I was developing using WebObjects 5.3.? (+ Wonder), and this was all working nicely. In particular, whatever this redirect would do the URL generated by WebObjects in the html sources would be absolute but would NOT contain the schema and host name (in other words they'd start like '/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Incident.woa/....')
I have just upgraded to Leopard, and hence WebObjects 5.4.1 (+ Wonder).
Now the redirect still works (when enforcing 'https' usage), but upon such a redirection all the URL generated in the page are now 'complete' URL, that is they contain the schema, the hostname and then the rest (eg. 'http://foo.local/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Incident.woa/....'). In particular, when turning to 'https' all the generated URLs are now EXPLICITLY NON secured http ('http'). Still if there is no-redirection the generated URLs are the same as before (like the one generated by WO 5.3, non-complete URL, eg. '/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Incident.woa/....').
I have tried to check the value of aContext.doesGenerateCompleteURLs() (which in all cases is FALSE, which to me means that all generated URL should be absolute path without schema and hostname).
I realise that the former https bug of WebObjects 5.3 is now fixed and it might be normal that my code is not working anymore, but I could not find how I should change my code to conform to the new WO version?
Any help or hint is very welcome !
