Accessing from elsewhere than localhost

Reported by nott | October 9th, 2008 @ 07:02 PM | in 0.2

WERTi inserts the wrong link to the GWT Enhancers if used from elsewhere than localhost. It is essential that the JavaScript GWT magic is loaded from exactly the same host name that was used in the HTTP request. Otherwise, browsers will regard the JS insertion as a cross-site scripting attack and refuse the execution of the code.

    Have you tried adjusting this-server in WERTi.properties?

    Yes, but it didn't help. Actually we do not believe this to be the right place. It must be auto-detected from the HTTP request, as you can never guarantee 100% that the hostnames match. This is now implemented in the gerunds branch in commit 0e4f4c71ffa4873b3a3b7fe8f42289374fc97753.

    OK, please inform me about the status once the mess is cleaned up :-) if not, i'll try to investigate the problem after the conditionals branch is in good ... condition.
