AltocumulusUri Rewrite and relative Uri's/Links
Hello Folks,
I think it's more an theoretical question, but with a practical background.
I've the following secenario.
Client side is requesting "https://www.domain.com/app
Proxy performs a HTTP:uri rewrite from /app to "/" (content on backend system is in the root directory).
That's working fine -> I'll get a Login mask and then I'll get some incomplete content back in the browser.
After looking the site source code I'll find a lot of "relative links"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"><head><meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<base href="/" />
<link href="css/rich-text/bundle.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="css/rich-text/css/dx.light.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="css/rich-text/bundle-richedit.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="_framework/blazor.webassembly.js"></script>
<script src="_content/MudBlazor/MudBlazor.min.js"></script>
<script src="_content/Dsm.Blazor.Components/common.bundle.js"></script>
<script src="_content/Dsm.Blazor.Components/contextmenu.bundle.js"></script>
and so on.
The problem is, the browser is requesting all these links without the subdirectory /app
https://www.domain.com/css/rich-text instead of https://www.domain.com/app/css/rich-text
A search on the WWW says that the usage of subfolders + rewrites with relative paths should not really be a problem. Or rather, this was described as a workaround.
According to my understanding of relative links, these should simply be added to the existing browser URL during the request.
Do I have a problem understanding relative links here or could be the <base href="/" /> the problem (because all paths are relative to / [root path] thus removing the /app path from subsequent requests)?
Thanks in advance for you help.
