[Xitami] Redirecting By IP Address

[David Wolever]

I'm not quite sure what you're saying.
We only have one external IP address, which is being used by a primay
site (hosted by Apache).
The secondary site, hosted by Xitami, is on a LAN.  We can not put it
any farther out because we do not have another IP address and I do not
want to put a Windows machine right on the Internet.
The problem lies with the Location header.
When a directory is requested with out the trailing slash (eg:
example.com/foo instead of example.com/foo/), Xitami does what it
should and sends a 302 moved temporally header, trying to redirect the
client to /foo/.  The problem is that the Location: used by Xitami is
it's IP address, NOT the host supplied by the browser (as, I believe,
it should be).
Here is what the transaction looks like:

Browser:
GET /foo HTTP/1.1
Host: xitami.example.com

Xitami:
HTTP/1.0 302 Moved Temporarily
Vary: Host
Location: http://192.168.1.2/foo/

But this is what it should say:
HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://xitami.example.com/foo/

I hope this clarifies things.
