URL https://host.domain.tld:80

[thermionic]

.deb install of 16.6 on Ubuntu 22.04

After shooting myself in the foot with a CSP, and then relaxing the policy to work, I did some more investigation to get the CSP to work with XWiki, and encountered some other issues.

When through a reverse proxy, the path for resources on the below listed Administration pages is https://host.domain.tld:80/ instead of https://host.domain.tld/ (not specifying port 80)

While these issues are not seen when the reverse proxy (HAProxy) is not used, that the reverse proxy is not performing anything on paths, and that the issue only occurs on some pages, makes me think that this may be an XWiki issue, or an (extremely) unexpected interaction with the reverse proxy on these pages.

As an example of the issue not occurring, on the Rights page under Users & Rights, the path for noavatar.png is https://host.domain.tld/xwiki/bin/skin/resources/icons/xwiki/noavatar.png (without the :80)

HAproxy terminates TLS and forwards (HTTP mode) to the XWiki port of 8080

While configuring the below two settings in xwiki.cfg resolves the issue, it then breaks access to the XWiki instance without the reverse proxy in the path, which I consider to be sub-optimal.

xwiki.home=https://host.domain.tld
xwiki.url.protocol=https

Url in attachments containing port 80

Hello, XWIKI is used behing haproxy, haproxy terminates SSL and forward everything to port 8080. File can be uploades to pages and subpages. But can’t be deleted or browsed from pages anymore because automatically port 80 is added. eg.: (https://myfqdn:80/xwiki/bin/download/…) If I check the attachemnts under Page index → Attachments the URL is ok and the files can be downloaded. What could be the reason. The latest Version 15.1 is running.
