redirect to custom domain fails

[mluerig]

I am hosting a honkit project with netlify under a custom domain (www.wiki.asellus.org). I have a added a netlify rewrite-rule to have the site appear under www.asellus.org/wiki using a netlify.toml file with this content:

[[redirects]]
  from = "/wiki/*"
  to = "https://wiki.asellus.org/:splat"
  status = 200
  force = true

The subdomain is working, but the rewrite is not working as expected: the css is missing, and all links point to the base url without "wiki" in between. In jekyll, this is solved by specifying the baseurl option in the config - is there a similar option for honkit?

https://www.asellus.org/wiki/ seems work.
last slash / is related to this issue.

When access https://www.asellus.org/wiki, Load https://www.asellus.org/gitbook/style.css.
It is 404.

When access https://www.asellus.org/wiki/, Load https://www.asellus.org/wiki/gitbook/style.css
It is ok.

thanks - I hadn't noticed. I now tried with additional netlify rewrite rules, but it may not work because domain level rewrites from asellus.org/wiki -> asellus.org/wiki/ would engage in an infinite loop with the redirect above.

however, the netlify support found the basepath - can this be used for my purpose? asked differently, is there a way to solve the slash issue from the honkit side?

is there no such option for honkit? would really help tremendously...

Unfortunately, baseurl option is not implemented.
HonKit(GitBook v1) always handle the path as relative path.

honkit/packages/honkit/src/output/website/onPage.ts

Line 37 in 4a439e5

const basePath = LocationUtils.normalize(path.relative(outputDirName, "./"));

is there a way to solve the slash issue from the honkit side?

It is difficult that honkit reconize it, I think.

Another option.

• handle the path as absolute path.
  • It requires baseurl option.

create-react-app use similar approach.
create-react-app handle the path as absolute path if homepage is defined.

• Deployment | Create React App
• create-react-app/getPublicUrlOrPath.js at bb64e31a81eb12d688c14713dce812143688750a · facebook/create-react-app

📝 baseurl option allow user to set different url with actual. In this case, it will be failed as CORS error because HonKit use XMLHttpRequest.
