#1145 new enhancement

Can't set redirection port to the port from the "Host" request header field

Description

Currently you can't set the redirection port to the one that is specified by the HTTP Host field. There should be another possible value for port_in_redirection that does exactly this.

Example: The client requests path /test from the host example.com:4545. The server now responds with a redirection to the location http://example.com:4545/test2

Also, compare server_name_in_redirect and port_in_redirect, they strangely do very different things altough their names are similiar:

  • server_name_in_redirect on means the server name specified by the server_name directive is used
  • server_name_in_redirect off means the server name specified in the "Host" request header field is used

but

  • port_in_redirect on means the port specified by the listen directive is used
  • port_in_redirect off means that no port is send

This is not intuitive and also misleading because server_name_in_redirect off actually sends a server name in the redirection packet..
