UseCanonicalName

[sofatime]

Hi,

We would like to use the Apache directive "UseCanonicalName Off". Is the equivalent setting available in litespeed? I tried to use "UseCanonicalName Off" in .htaccess and in the "apache style configuration" field, but with no success.

Short background explanation: We use a reverse proxy in front of our sites. This proxy is the HTTPS endpoint and the connection between the proxy and the origin server with litespeed is HTTP. If a client now requests an URL like

https://www.domain.tld/path

litespeed does an automatic redirect to

http://www.domain.tld/path/

This is not a problem for normal users, as the reverse proxy redirects again to https, but apparently the Google spider does not like it.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Daniel

the frontend proxy should send "X-Forwarded-Proto: https", and litespeed backend will treated it as HTTPS connections.
the redirect to http:// ... is like a configuration bug in the backend, if the site should be served with HTTPS.

Thank you. I added "X-Forwarded-Proto: https" to the proxy configuration, but it did not help.

configuration bug: Where could that be? I think that litespeed is doing this redirect.
