wordpress infinite redirect bug

[trenta]

I am proxying wordpress as follows, to a machine called "wordpress".

ProxyPass / ​http://wordpress/
ProxyPassReverse / ​http://wordpress/

I can fix the infinite redirect by changing the name of the destination server. But, that would be a hack. What I really would like, is for wordpress to act in a reasonable way, by not requiring that the requested host name is the same as my domain name configured in the options. If this is not fixed, no body will be able to proxy, for instance ​http://mydomainname.com/wordpress to ​http://blog.otherdomainname.com

Other possibilities are if hosting providers do proxying without it being configurable. This would prevent the user from fixing the problem.

Most people would not be able to figure this out. As such, it should be a fairly high priority.

This looks like a duplicate of #5089.

We need more info here to investigate and reproduce.

What urls are you configuring the WordPress install to have?

Moving to Future until we have enough info to investigate.

This is no longer valid. We only forward yes-www vs no-www domains now. incorrect.example.com will not forward to correct.example.com — you'll only get redirects from www.correct.example.com
