As long as you're staying in the same directory, consider converting to a relative reference that's within the same directory by removing any leading forward slash references (and what's between them).

for example,

if ad_conn url returns:

/index.tcl

convert it to:

index.tcl

This doesn't work if you're swapping around in the file hierarchy, but should work fine for the simple cases.

Hi Dane, Torben and everyone,

I've done a lot of investigation on this problem, and yes, basically any call the ad_con will eventually fail in a host node mapped subsite.

The fix is tricky befure the call to ad_conn -set is done AFTER the filters are proccessed. So, even if we fix the filters (rp_filter) and fix the redirect, ad_conn -set won't see this change.

To fix it would be a big problem, because we would have to change the exact place in request-processor where the ad_conn -set is called. Ni first looking it would be a major rewriting of request processor code.

Mayvbe somebody with better knowledge on RP can propose a better solution.
