Trac 0.9.4 under IIS -- corrupt redirection URL after submit to darlavis

[ewedl@…]

Within the install documentation for IIS 6.0 the redirect function on the Request class needs to be replaced by:

def redirect(self, url):
        """Send a redirect to the client, forwarding to the specified URL. The
        `url` may be relative or absolute, relative URLs will be translated
        appropriately.
        """
        base_url = '%s://%s' % ("http", os.getenv('SERVER_NAME'))
        if self.session:
            self.session.save() # has to be done before the redirect is sent
        self.send_response(302)
        if not url.startswith('http://') and not url.startswith('https://'):
            # Make sure the URL is absolute
            url = absolute_url(self, url)
        ''''''self.send_header('Location', base_url + url)''''''
        self.send_header('Content-Type', 'text/plain')
        self.send_header('Pragma', 'no-cache')
        self.send_header('Cache-control', 'no-cache')
        self.send_header('Expires', 'Fri, 01 Jan 1999 00:00:00 GMT')
        self._send_cookie_headers()
        self.end_headers()

        if self.method != 'HEAD':
            self.write('Redirecting...')

        raise RequestDone

Using this code the redirection after submission will not work — I replaced

self.send_header('Location', base_url + url)

by

self.send_header('Location', url)

and the system seems to work now without any problem - pls be aware I did no further investigation and other cleanup - so if anybody would find a clean solution pls let me know

Well, I don't know how you get there, but the self.send_header('Location', base_url + url) line is not part of the 0.9-stable branch, AFAICT. It has been self.send_header('Location', url) since r2078.

Or maybe the version you reported is wrong. If so, please upgrade.
