Finishing up the last few glitches of the webapp_module and I found a couple
of inconsistencies between Apache, the servlet spec and Tomcat.
I have a couple of virtual hosts on the same IP address on two ports under
apache:
www.betaversion.org
And
kali.betaversion.org
They use both ports 80 and 8080, BUT I have only one definition for the
server: www:80 (www:8080, kali:80 and kali:8080 are configured to be exactly
equal to www:80).
Now, when I call my CGI, for ALL these four requests
http://www.betaversion.org:80/cgi_bin/test
http://www.betaversion.org:8080/cgi_bin/test
http://kali.betaversion.org:80/cgi_bin/test
http://kali.betaversion.org:8080/cgi_bin/test
I find out that
SERVER_NAME is always www.betaversion.org
And
SERVER_PORT is always 80
But, if with the same configuration I run tomcat, the SnoopServlet returns:
http://www.betaversion.org:80/cgi_bin/test
getServerName() -> www.betaversion.org
getServerPort() -> 80
http://www.betaversion.org:8080/cgi_bin/test
getServerName() -> www.betaversion.org
getServerPort() -> 8080
http://kali.betaversion.org:80/cgi_bin/test
getServerName() -> kali.betaversion.org
getServerPort() -> 80
http://kali.betaversion.org:8080/cgi_bin/test
getServerName() -> kali.betaversion.org
getServerPort() -> 8080
So, something is wrong, since the spec says that calling
ServletRequest.getServerName() is equal to the SERVER_NAME CGI variable
And
ServletRequest.getServerPort() is equal to the SERVER_PORT CGI variable
At the end, what should I use? Wich one is correct? The CONFIGURED server
name and port or the one derived from the Host: ...... Header????
(Right now I'm using the second one, like Tomcat does)...
