cherrypy.HTTPRedirect redirects to IP instead of hostname using abs path

Question

I\'m running CherryPy behind nginx and need to handle redirects. On my dev machine running on 127.0.0.1:8080, this redirects correctly to 127.0.0.1:8080/login.

Answer 1

Try tools.proxy config setting:

'tools.proxy.on': True,

Additionally you may need

'tools.proxy.local': 'X-Forwarded-Host',

Set to appropriate header. When using NGINX, the header would be

'tools.proxy.local': 'Host',

In case of Lighttpd this header will be appropriate:

'tools.proxy.local': 'X-Host'

Answer 2

I couldn't add a comment to the https://stackoverflow.com/a/20730038/1115187 , but I know, that Lighttpd sends X-Host header, so for Lighttpd proxy use:

'tools.proxy.local': 'X-Host'
