http redirector and browser woes

[osschar]

1. Accessing paths on a redirector through http (browser) that do not exist in the federation get interpreted as local paths. Having export / on a redirector thus leads to being able to accessing any file on the redirector. I believe redirector should never fall back to local file system.
2. The generated html includes too many slashes when a directory is the last thing in the url and ends with a /. Also, if one access a server as http://server//foo/bar (note doulbe // after server) the links to files are broken, they point to 'foo/bar/file' (note, all slashes stripped).

Hi,

are you referring to XrdHttp or something else ?

Hi Fabrizio,

Yes, I think so :) But I don't know the details of how the things are connected under the hatch.

Any chance to have a redirector debug log for point 1 ?

Instead I see the issue with the embedded HTML generation (point 2). I'll have a look at it.

Thanks for fixing issue #2!

I tried reproducing #1 with my own setup (redir exporting / and a single server exporting /tmp) and it indeed works as its should.

I believe the setup I was playing with earlier (and had no control over) had one server with all.export / and oss.localroot /. Sigh, sorry for misdirection.
