hi, i’m running mongrel behind lighttpd proxy server, i redirect /xyz URLs to port 8081so i can get dynamic content. sometimes this content redirects e.g lighttpd config. “/content/” =\> (( “host” =\>“my IP address here”, “port” =\> 8081 )) , when I use rails redirect\_to and webrick as the server i get the desired transation of the URLS with no sign of 8081 in the redirected URL [http://myserver/content/redirected\_url](http://myserver/content/redirected_url) when I use mongrel, the redirected URL contains the 8081 port, [http://myserver:8081/content/redirected\_url](http://myserver:8081/content/redirected_url) thanks BD. ---

Let me look at this. I believe the whole way the redirects are done via the CGI library is not correct. It looks like WEBrick may be doing some form of correction. For example, CGI apparently uses a header of “location:” on the 302 response, but WEBrick uses “Location:” and changes the response. I’ve got a test case for this now so I’ll sort it out. Thanks for the specific details on your setup. Zed A. Shaw > **[Zed A. shaw](https://zedshaw.com/)** > > Personal essays and writings by Zed A. Shaw.
