eZHTTPTool::redirect and reverse proxy

Hello,

When a reverse proxy is used, the eZ Publish redirect are wrong.

eZHTTPTool::redirect() use eZSys::hostName() to get the hostName, that function use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] which is the same as the Host header in the HTTP request. So the hostname of the webserver will be used instead of the hostname of the reverse proxy server.

Can I configure eZ Publish to resolve this issue?

Best regards.

Looking at http://issues.ez.no/1304 it seems like this has been a known problem for a long time...

If you are using Apache as reverse proxy, then use the ProxyPassReverse directive to adjust the Location HTTP header, see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreverse. I guess other reverse proxy software has such configuration option as well.
