[BUG] Selkies "Download Files" redirecting frontend incorrectly

[stvsu]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

I'm using a reverse proxy to push requests from webtop.example.com --> ip:3001

When navigating to the Selkies "Download Files" area, webtop is sending the frontend to webtop.example.com:3001/files/ which doesn't work (since reverse proxy is listening for requests on 80/443 and redirecting based on request header.

Expected Behavior

Ideally it would send that request to ip:3001/files/ natively. Not entirely clear if this is a webtop/Selkies issue.

It's probably solveable by writing a redirect at the reverse proxy, so requests for webtop.example.com:3001/files/ get routed back to the IP, but figured I would post here to discuss.

Steps To Reproduce

See above

Environment

CPU architecture

x86-64

Docker creation

using docker-compose and traefik

Container logs

N/A - that request doesnt hit the container

How can I replicate this ? It does not work with subfolder but there is no port definition anywhere for 3001.

[stvsu]

3001 is the default port used for webtop.

It should be reproduceable by placing any reverse proxy in front of webtop and reverse proxying requests to reverse-proxy.example.com:443 => webtop-ip:3001.

The default route works, but the webtop frontend for "Download Files" is replacing the URL with reverse-proxy.example.com:3001 which errors out.

Hope that makes sense?

No I am not saying this because I am not capable of testing this, I am saying this becuase I cannot replicate it I need to know how you are seeing this.

The client is completely oblivious to anything but the url it lands on so for it to get 3001 is a real headscratcher.
Every proxy I have tested works caddy, nginx, and treafik.

[stvsu]

I'm using Traefik to route to the container, but afaik container is using nginx under the hood.

Here's what I'm seeing on the client side in dev tools for the Download Files click in network activity

Looks like its 301-ing a redirect and adding the :3001 to the URL?

I'm learning this stuff but not an expert :)

Ok got it an this was useful, I was testing on the same host.

selkies-project/selkies@3d3259d fixes this but I just waterfalled all of webtop for HiDPI so gonna be a bit before another build.
