https redirect fails

[Patrick Johnson]

Hello,

I am trying to connect to a site with a call to submit().  The site is sending me back a redirect, with the scheme changed from http to https.  The call to expandlinks (around line 323) is causing a problem.

I submit the first url to submit():
http://www.website.com/path

I get a redirect:
http://www.website.com:80/patha/file.xyz

That works, and I get another redirect:
https://www.website.com/patha/file.xyz

Then I execute this line of code in submit():
$this->_redirectaddr = $this->_expandlinks($this->_redirectaddr,$URI_PARTS["scheme"]."://".$URI_PARTS["host"]);   

and now my redirect is:
http://www.website.com/https://www.website.com/patha/file.xyz

I'm not sure what that line of code is trying to do, so I'm not sure about the fix.

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks,
Patrick

I changed the code in question as follows, and it seems to work (VERY minimal testing):
                        if($this->maxredirs > $this->_redirectdepth)
                        {                       
                            if(!preg_match("|^".$URI_PARTS["scheme"]."://|", $this->_redirectaddr)) {
// ** PJ ** EDNC
//
// echo("<br />RedirectAddr = $this->_redirectaddr <br />\n ");
                                if(!preg_match("|^[^:]+://|", $this->_redirectaddr))
                                    $this->_redirectaddr = $this->_expandlinks(    $this->_redirectaddr,
                                                                                $URI_PARTS["scheme"]."://".$URI_PARTS["host"]);
                            }
                           
                            // only follow redirect if it's on this site, or offsiteok is true
