Absolute paths are broken
Suppose I had a server running on port 50 serving the file index.html:
<a href="/something.html">Broken link</a>
In redbird I setup
var proxy = require('redbird')({port: 80, xfwd: false}); proxy.register("example.com/test", "127.0.0.1:50");
When I access example.com/test, it redirects correctly to index.html.
But when you click on the link it directs you to example.com/something.html, not example.com/test/something.html
There's no issue here. Your link's href starts with a slash, so it's relative to the root of the domain.
It is a mixed problem of redbird and the browser. Redbird should be able to set up a trailing slash, otherwise the browser interprets it as a file, not a folder.
Thus, this also makes loading additional resources impossible. E.g.: example.com/test should redirect to example.com/test/ so path resolving is done correctly.
