...where used). All is fine there. However, in controllers, url_for generates a full url, with the host name. This causes problems when we have a chain of Apache proxy servers: My Browser ---> Proxy 1 ----> Proxy 2 ----> Phusion Deployment Server. In this scenario, the request header item HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST contains the following: proxy1:81, proxy2 Rails extracts the host by splitting this string and getting the last item: (actionpack-2.3.2\lib\action_controller\request.rb line 271) def raw_host_with_port if forwarded = env["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST"] forwarded.split(/,\s?...

...lem has come up because I have a few rails application on an intranet where I have to use proxies to provide access to some clients. I have done little work with this sort of thing before so I was hoping to get more input from someone on this list. When multiple proxies have serviced a request the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST environment variable is created and looks like this: HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST = "www.firsthost.org, www.secondhost.org" In this case the browser requested a url from www.firsthost.org, which then forwarded this request to www.secondhost.org which then forwarded this to the rails applicatio...

I need to get some absolute redirects working -- basically I set callback hooks to external services, but I want these hooks to use my configured CNAME''s. I''m trying to find a way so that my app doesn''t have to know about these CNAME''s. So I''m looking at the request in the controller to try and get the base URL where I''m running. To

...vent code in there was done to resolve a proxy issue with lighttp. Unfortunately, that same code seems to not work with Apache 2.x mod_proxy. Hacky Solution ============== I hacked actionpack-1.12.3/lib/action_controller/cgi_process.rb host_with_port method so that it didn''t look at the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST at all.
