A JSP/servlet can dynamically create a URL using public methods on the HttpRequest object to get the server’s port, protocol and host. When configured with a redirector, the sever’s port, protocol, and host differ from the redirector. As a JSP/servlet developer, you may decide to redirect JSPs/servlets to the redirector’s host/port instead of the server’s. In EAServer 6.2, the server reads these HTTP header fields:
host – to determine the host and port the client used to connect.
sybaseredirectorheader – to determine the protocol that was used to connect to a Web redirector.
If you call any of the HttpRequest methods—getServerName, getServerPort, or getProtocol—the values are retrieved from the browser.
