Hi all,
I'm using sslext to control ssl use on my site. I think I've installed it correctly, based on the scanty documentation available. However, it seems to be losing the port number during the url rewrite.
I'm running on localhost:8080 (a development machine) and I've got ssl installed on port 443 using
Tomcat's keystore (self signed cert that has been installed in the browser)
In my action config, I have:
When I follow a link to this form, the browser gives me:
https://localhost/someAction;(some session ID) -- this then gets set to cookies after the first page. I think I'm ok with this, and this seems to be normal container behavior too.
When i go to a page handled by an UNSECURE action:
I get:
http://localhost/someAction2;sessionID (and no page comes up).
Is this hardcoded in the sslext library? As a workaround, I tried to get my Eclipse-controlled Tomcat environment to work on port 80, but I keep getting errors that there is another server operating on port 80 (I have none-- I can only think that Eclipse has soemthing to do with this).
ANy thoughts on how I can:
1.) get appropriate port rewriting (if that is the problem)? Is this a Tomcat config problem? the scheme rewriting seems to work (e.g. http --> https and back)
2.) how to get port 80 to work to
test it (or to get 8080 to work).

PS as an aside, one reason I used 443 is that 8443 was giving all sorts of behavior, which led me to believe that ports were being lost in the rewrite.
