I'm wondering if this Apache doing some kind of internal redirect for the newer Xymon. The "Location" header sent by the two versions are different in that the old version sends an absolute redirect "Location: <a href="http://servername/blabla" target="_blank">http://servername/blabla</a>" and the new one sends a relative redirect "Location: /blabla". I'm not an expert on Apache, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's optimising the relative redirects. If so, this might be a behaviour that can be adjusted by Apache configuration.</div><div><br></div><div>J</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">On 29 March 2018 at 23:36, Rothlisberger, John R. <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:john.r.rothlisberger@accenture.com" target="_blank">john.r.rothlisberger@<wbr>accenture.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="h5">
