Description

A permanent redirect from /server-manager to SystemName.DomainName, port 980 is defined in /etc/e-smith/templates/httpd/vhost-default/10server-manager.

The redirection must change only the URL port number, leaving the host part intact. For instance:

http://server.domain/server-manager => https://server.domain:980
http://14.15.16.17/server-manager => https://14.15.16.17:980

This enhancement possibly simplifies the remote assistance, for instance when the server is accessible through port-forwarding and public IP address.

Test case

The HTTP Location header must direct to the same host specified by Host header. Port must be changed to 980, schema must be https

For instance, before update (some lines of output are not reported):

    # curl -k -v -L http://127.0.0.1:80/server-manager/xxx
* About to connect() to 127.0.0.1 port 80 (#0)
*   Trying 127.0.0.1... connected
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 80 (#0)
> GET /server-manager/xxx HTTP/1.1
> Host: 127.0.0.1
> 
< HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
< Location: https://davidep3.vboxnet0.tld:980/xxx

After update:

    # curl -k -v -L http://127.0.0.1:80/server-manager/xxx
* About to connect() to 127.0.0.1 port 80 (#0)
*   Trying 127.0.0.1... connected
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 80 (#0)
> GET /server-manager/xxx HTTP/1.1
> Host: 127.0.0.1
> 
< HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
< Location: https://127.0.0.1:980/xxx

After update of nethserver-httpd-admin, Nethgui framework raises an error:

Dec  6 16:33:16 test httpd-admin: PHP Warning:  Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/share/nethesis/Nethgui/Framework.php:506) in /usr/share/nethesis/nethserver-manager/index.php on line 38

To fix previous error update nethserver-netugui to release nethserver-nethgui-1.2.4-13.0gitb814d52a.ns6

Installed packages:

[root@test ~]# rpm -qa | grep nethserver-httpd
nethserver-httpd-admin-1.0.6-12.0git547b73e8.ns6.noarch
nethserver-httpd-2.2.1-1.ns6.noarch

Redirect works as expected.
