Running 5208. We have a site with SSL enabled and Web Alias Redirect
enabled so that site.com is allowed as well as <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.site.com">www.site.com</a>. The
problem is that regular requests and SSL requests behave
differently.<br>
<br>
When you browse to site.com, you're redirected to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.site.com">www.site.com</a>.
That's what we want.<br>
<br>
When you browse to <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://site.com">https://site.com</a>, you stay at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://site.com">https://site.com</a>.
We don't want that - we want behavior consistent with the non-secure
pages.<br>
<br>
I looked in the sitex file in /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts and see the
following:<br>
<br>
In the non-secure <VirtualHost <i>[IPAddress]</i>:80>
section, the following lines appear:<br>
<br>
ServerName <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.site.com">www.site.com</a><br>
ServerAlias site.com<br>
RewriteEngine on<br>
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^<i>[IPAddress]</i>(:80)?$<br>
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.site.com(:80)?$ [NC]<br>
<br>
RewriteRule ^/(.*) <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.site.com/$1">http://www.site.com/$1</a>
[L,R=301]<br>
<br>
<br>
While in the secure <VirtualHost *:443> section, these lines
appear:<br>
<br>
ServerName <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.site.com">www.site.com</a><br>
ServerAlias site.com<br>
RewriteEngine on<br>
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^<i>[IPAddress]</i>(:443)?$<br>
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.site.com(:443)?$ [NC]<br>
<font color="#ff0000">RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}
!^site.com(:443)?$ [NC]</font><br>
<br>
RewriteRule ^/(.*) <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.usms.org/$1">https://www.usms.org/$1</a>
[L,R=301]<br>
<br>
Deleting that red highlighted line and restarting apache makes the
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://site.com">https://site.com</a> redirection work just like the non-secure version.
Is this is bug that needs to be fixed in BX? I'm sure that the next
time I update something, my manually edited file will be overwritten
with that bad line in it again.<br>
