Reverse proxy without Location header modification

[kohrar]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to get a Galaxy server running as an interactive app in Open OnDemand and have it working for the most part. The only issue I ran into is the data source redirection tool which passes a Location header to an external location.

Looking at the Apache config generator at ood-portal.conf.erb:225, I noticed that the reverse proxy strips out the protocol and domain from the location header. As a result, the URL that the tool is trying to redirect the user gets changed from something like https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/text-search to /ena/browser/text-search which lands on the OnDemand server and returns a 404.

Is there a particular reason for editing the location headers for the reverse proxy? For my testing, removing it fixed my issue, but are there consequences to removing this rule?

Header edit Location "^[^/]+//[^/]+" ""

Thanks in advance.
