LO57800: URL REDIRECT RULE TO REDIRECT TO A NON-DOMINO WEBSITE STILL CARRIES OVER THE ?OPENFORM FUNCTION

APAR status

• Closed as suggestion for future release.

Error description

• Problem Description:
  
  When using a URL redirect rule to redirect requests to a Domino
  based web site
  that contain Domino specific URL Functions (i.e. ?OpenForm) to a
  new URL which
  is for a non-Domino web site, the URL Functions are carried over
  to the new URL.
  
  Example Redirect Rule:
  
  Incoming URL pattern: /testsite/*
  Redirect to this URL: http://www.ibm.com
  
  Example scenario when using above redirect rule:
  
  1.  Domino receives incoming URL request for
  "http://servername.com/testsite/database.nsf/SomeFormName?OpenFo
  rm"
  
  2.  Domino compares the wildcard and redirects the user to
  ibm.com except the
  URL the user is redirected to looks like this:
  
  http://www.ibm.com/us/en/sandbox/ver2/index.html?OpenForm
  
  Customer is running Domino 8.5.2 64-bit but I was able to
  reproduce on 32-bit
  as well.
  
  If this is working as designed, then customer would like an
  enhancement added
  to be able to use URL redirection rules to redirect requests for
  Domino based
  web sites to non-Domino based sites without carrying over the
  Domino specific
  URL Functions.
