#5114 closed enhancement (fixed)

wp_safe_redirect() case sensitive for hostnames

Description

For instance, when I enter a post password, no matter whether it was correct, I get redirected to my wp-admin folder instead of the form's page. I had set my hostname to contain uppercase letters as an experiment.

Exploring the source code made it apparent that the check in wp_safe_redirect() is case sensitive, i.e. hostname http://www.EXAMPLE.com does not match http://www.example.com.

  • Milestone changed from 2.3.1 to 2.4

5114.2.diff adds a strtolower()'d version of the host into the allowed_hosts array. So you can match by being lowercase or by matching exactly. Milestone of 2.4 before 2.3.1

Revert [35792]

This causes a regression and causes redirects to potentially fail.
