Package: ikiwiki Version: 3.20120202 Severity: wishlist Dear Joey,
Thank you for making fantastic and unique wiki like no other. It would be nice if cgi wrapper would use relative URLs instead of ones with hardcoded domain name and support hostname-less configuration. When I enter 'url' or 'cgiurl' in configuration without 'http://' prefix as url => '~/iki', cgiurl => '~/iki/ikiwiki.cgi' and run 'ikiwiki --setup' I get "Use of uninitialized value in string ne at /usr/share/perl5/IkiWiki.pm line 570." which is not a problem by itself. But I'm trying to use a peculiar configuration when rsync plugin send blog content to extranet site where reverse proxy tunnel channelling requests to ~/iki/ikiwiki.cgi back to intranet. And that's where problems are manifesting: if page generated by ikiwiki.cgi (like login page) is accessed from extranet it looks distorted due to all resources like .CSS files are linked using absolute URLs with domain name as configured in (cgi)url or using domain name of intranet server is it identifies itself if no domain explicitly mentioned in (cgi)url configuration. Basically because of hardcoded domain names in links ikwiki can't work well from behind reverse proxy because intranet domain (configured or fallback one) may not be available from outside. Moreover in such configuration it is preferable not to disclose intranet domain names. Hardcoding domain names in links seems unnecessary because relative linking is more than enough for addressing internal pages. Thank you. All the best, Dmitry. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
