[Archive-access-discuss] Wayback 1.6.0 - NullPointerException in SelfRedirectFilter

[Nicolas G. <nik...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have deployed Wayback 1.6.0 in proxy mode. When I try to start a
replay session on some websites ("http://www.bnf.fr" for instance) I
get the following exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException
java.lang.String.compareTo(String.java:1167)
org.archive.wayback.resourceindex.filters.SelfRedirectFilter.filterObject(SelfRedirectFilter.java:63)
org.archive.wayback.resourceindex.filters.SelfRedirectFilter.filterObject(SelfRedirectFilter.java:36)
org.archive.wayback.util.ObjectFilterChain.filterObject(ObjectFilterChain.java:81)
org.archive.wayback.util.ObjectFilterIterator.hasNext(ObjectFilterIterator.java:61)
org.archive.wayback.resourceindex.LocalResourceIndex.doCaptureQuery(LocalResourceIndex.java:185)
org.archive.wayback.resourceindex.LocalResourceIndex.query(LocalResourceIndex.java:275)
org.archive.wayback.webapp.AccessPoint.handleReplay(AccessPoint.java:309)
org.archive.wayback.webapp.AccessPoint.handleRequest(AccessPoint.java:213)
org.archive.wayback.util.webapp.RequestMapper.handleRequest(RequestMapper.java:183)
org.archive.wayback.util.webapp.RequestFilter.doFilter(RequestFilter.java:109)

Looking at the code it expects to find a scheme at the beginning of
the redirected URL, but if it come from the location header there is
absolutely no guarantee about that. Is this a bug, or is there some
kind of configuration I got wrong? I've included my wayback.xml file.


Best regards,
