[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (RF-7304) RIchfaces controls don't work over HTTPS on the first request

RIchfaces controls don't work over HTTPS on the first request ------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-7304 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-7304 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.3.1 Environment: Gentoo Linux, Apache 2.2.10, Tomcat 6.0.18, Seam 2.1.2CR2, Richfaces 3.3.1GA Reporter: Dave Oxley Assignee: Tsikhon Kuprevich Fix For: 3.3.2.CR1 We are developing an web application using Seam and Richfaces. We have changed some pages to use HTTPS by setting scheme="https" against the relevant pages in pages.xml. Unfortunately we noticed that for first request to each type of Richfaces control the control did not render properly, but subsequent requests rendered correctly. We tried clearing the browser cache but this did not recreate the issue. Only restarting the application recreated the issue. We then looked at the Apache access logs to see what was happening and found that the first request to the xcss file resulted in a redirect back to HTTP for the incorrect path. The easiest way to describe it is to show the access logs: First request: ssl_access_log: 127.0.0.1 - - [03/Jun/2009:13:34:58 +1000] "GET /a4j/s/3_3_1.GAcss/picklist.xcss/DATB/eAELXT5DOhSIAQ!sA18_ HTTP/1.1" 302 - access_log: 127.0.0.1 - - [03/Jun/2009:13:34:59 +1000] "GET /css/picklist.xcss?cid=1 HTTP/1.1" 404 15327 Subsequent requests: ssl_access_log: 127.0.0.1 - - [03/Jun/2009:13:35:32 +1000] "GET /a4j/s/3_3_1.GAcss/picklist.xcss/DATB/eAELXT5DOhSIAQ!sA18_ HTTP/1.1" 200 4912 No entry in access_log. After we found this in the logs we found we could recreate the issue by just issuing the problem URL after a server restart: https://127.0.0.1//a4j/s/3_3_1.GAcss/picklist.xcss/DATB/eAELXT5DOhSIAQ!sA18_ which redirects to http for the first request and works for all subsequent requests.
