Bug #4207
closedExternal links do not work with dedicated-process setting
0%
Description
When external links are created (for example in WText or WAnchor) they are modified to be passed through redirect page and they look for example like this:
http://127.0.0.1:9091/?request=redirect&url=http://google.com&hash=tZjUtaAo2x5ZE4xWU6e0%2bA%3d%3d
As you can see URL and hash are passed in the request. Unfortunately (when using dedicated-process option) redirect page is handled by different process. It has different WebControllrer instance, which has different value for WebControllrer::redirectSecret_ member. Because of that hash recalculated in parent is different and safety check always returns error and "Invalid redirect" page is displayed by (WebController::handleRequest(...).
Proposed solution:
You already pass ---parent-port from parent to child process via command line.
Maybe ---parent-secret would be sufficient ?

To confirm my theory I found that there are two WebControllers (one in WServer and the other in WApplication). I included appropriate headers from src, I accessed those private redirectSecret_ members and set them to the same value. And now it works :) !
Simplest solution:
Just give possibility to set the secret (something like WServer::setRedirectSecret(...) and WApplication::setRedirectSecret(...)) and it will be up to the client code to maintain same secret across many processes.
Code I used:
#define private public
#include "d:\Download\wt-3.3.4\src\web\WebSession.h"
#include "d:\Download\wt-3.3.4\src\web\WebController.h"
#undef public
...
WServer server( args[ 0 ] );
server.setServerConfiguration( args.size(), args.data(), myConfigFile );
server.controller()->redirectSecret_ = "12345";
...
MyApplication::MyApplication( const WEnvironment & env )
: WApplication( env )
{
session()->controller()->redirectSecret_ = "12345";
}

It seems that even WServer::setRedirectSecret(...) would be sufficient.
