HTML form submits and the hostname changes to IP address
- by Shamik
I am facing a peculiar problem. The problem is, my webapp is being installed behind a proxy. The request gets submitted to the proxy which forwards the request to the original host that is running the websphere web application.
The problem I am facing is, when I access the webapp, its URL looks like the below
http://www.myproxy.com
Lets say I get a form on this URL, when I submit the form, it is getting submitted to another URL - http://10.1.2.87
Since the URL is changing, application server thinks it is a different session and throws the login page again. The login page comes thru a filter which checks whether user is already authenticated in the session or not.
I do not have much knowledge on proxy settings .. where do you think is the problem?
