[BlueOnyx:09245] SSL redirect loop in 5108R

[Robert Fitzpatrick]

We get a redirection loop when trying to access a SSL enabled web site
using www as the host name. Not sure if it is the way we're trying to
test the site.  I have been able to duplicate the issue with a new VPS
setup following these steps...

1. New BO install of 5108R setting it to use 127.0.0.1
2. yum update
3. Setup new site www.domain.tld using auto DNS
4. Generate self signed cert
5. Enable SSL
6. Set my local hosts file pointing the IP to www.domain.tld

Then, when trying to access the https site, I get redirection loop in
the browser. I change the host name to anything else like www1 in the BO
gui under General Settings, add another line to my hosts file, then it
works fine with SSL.

Anyone one have an idea why this is? Better, does anyone else have a SSL
enabled vsite on BO 5108 using www as the host name?

Thanks, Robert
