Portal links are broken upon first connection

usernamenumber commented 9 years ago

If you do the following...

Connect to the x2go WAP
Navigate to www.google.com

...you will be redirected to the x2go portal page. This has links to the edx and kalite subsites at /edx and /kalite. Normally this is fine, but because of the way redirection is done, these links now implicitly go to e.g. www.google.com/edx

Solutions include:

In the portal site's PHP code, set the links to $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']."/edx", which will insert whatever IP the server is using to handle that request.
In nginx, rewrite unrecognized URLs to something like $server_addr/?orig_url=<< regex capture of original url >>

The latter is best, because it will allow the portal to auto-forward to the original destination after authentication.

I fixed this in my repo. I used the 2nd method. I'll issue a pull request soon.
